Securus

Securus enjoyed the best six months to date with an increase in gross profit of an impressive 67%. Embarking on voyages to Europe, Australia and the United States, 2022 was all about taking Aventum Group surveying around the world.

Bridget Slade undertook her CAAV examinations and passed with flying colours. This cements our offering of reinstatement valuations to the Group and wider clientele.

The new Securus portal also launched, enabling all Group companies to monitor their risks in real-time. It allows autonomy of risk requirement monitoring and automated chasing systems, saving time for both Securus and insurers.

The final few months of 2022 were productively jam-packed for the Novus team. As the majority of Covid restrictions were now lifted, the team was able to meet with clients face-to-face for the first time in three years. In addition to this, the team enjoyed being able to welcome office visits by our capacity providers.

In 2022, Novus wrote more than 1.8m policies in the UK alone. As a result, we have engaged Jonathan Thorpe to help with Novus Product Governance. Developing and improving upon what we already have in place, Grant has worked closely with Jonathan to ensure Novus will be fully compliant.

We continue to develop both our team and their skills, encouraging each team member to participate in training courses that the Group has to offer. We also welcomed the youngest edition to the Novus team in 2022 as Freddy and his girlfriend welcomed their baby daughter, Emily, into the world.
