As part of the drive to assist UK home owners who are living in flood risk areas, by providing them with affordable insurance, the Association of British Insurers set up Flood Re (https://www.abi.org.uk/Insurance-and-savings/Topics-and-issues/Flooding/Government-and-insurance-industry-flood-agreement/Flood-Re-explained) and awarded the Managing General Agent contract to Capita Insurance Services.
Landmark Information Group has been
appointed by Capita Insurance Services to design, build and operate the advanced
location-based database management and hosting services that Capita Insurance
Services will use to fulfil its managing agency contract with Flood Re, providing
affordable insurance for all UK homes at high risk of flooding.
The Landmark Solutions division
will provide Capita Insurance Services with a proven, robust and high
performance register service, to power Flood Re’s IT and database operations.
Chris Brackley, Managing
Director of Landmark Solutions
commented; “Our innovative location-based managed services combined with our
experience of providing appropriate interfaces and support to a diverse
stakeholder community will be crucial to the successful delivery of the Flood
Re scheme. We are delighted to be working with Capita to deliver this important
project to Flood Re.”
Vic Gysin, joint chief operating
officer Capita plc commented:
“We’ve all watched, with horror
and empathy, scenes on the Somerset levels, Cumbria and elsewhere, of families
whose lives have been turned upside down by flooding. Flood Re is a vital
insurance industry solution for UK homeowners faced with this threat and,
working together, Capita and Landmark will ensure that it provides the most
efficient and effective service for those affected.”
