Ensuring the right services are engaged with to resolve any technical needs.

The CSC focus is to connect the Insured with the appropriate service at the right time and to do so utilises our advanced claim management system, Centric and ConnectMe portals to manage a high level of delivery.

Twenty4Seven

As claim-triggering events do not always occur during regular business hours, McLarens offers the enhanced customer satisfaction and response levels achieved through our unique Twenty4Seven service.

This gives customers immediate access to our experienced claims professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It provides a unique combination of people, processes and technology to deliver an after hours virtual call centre that provides the most effective and efficient solution to your needs - any time, anywhere.

The calls are handled by our skilled team with knowledge of products, policies and processes. The aid they can provide varies from assisting with arranging temporary accommodation and/or arranging first response contractors to assist in mitigating damage and completing temporary repairs as well as providing the customer with support and guidance during the initial stages.

When integrated with our Emergency Works Service, customers’ immediate needs are taken care of too. This not only provides a great service that helps to mitigate damage, but most importantly, ensures a level of support and safety for the customer.

Emergency Works

Our Twenty4Seven service has the additional benefit of enabling us to undertake emergency works in a proactive and responsive manner rather than waiting until the next business day - again, significantly enhancing the customers’ experience and minimising or eliminating the stress impact on them.

We have designed this response to be flexible so that emergency works can be connected to the claim or, where not claim related, the costs are passed on to the customer depending on the circumstances and/or pre-agreements in place.
