Singapore-based specialist valuation and appraisal practice John Foord has joined worldwide broking network Brokerslink as an affiliate.

Brokerslink partners and affiliate companies provide clients in over 110 countries with risk management and insurance expertise, international market connections, and expert consulting services, a statement by John Foord said.

“We have worked with a number of the Brokerslink partners across the world and so becoming an affiliate seemed a natural progression to allow us to work closer with the Brokerslink network worldwide,” said Graham Copland, executive director of John Foord. “[We] look forward to collaborating with Brokerslink partners to advise clients on appropriate reinstatement costs. We believe that our investment in data analytics and modelling will be of particular interest to Brokerslink clients as businesses seek more analysis of their insurance risks and ways to mitigate losses.”

Following the establishment of the partnership, John Foord will participate in the upcoming Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) 2019 annual conference and exhibition in Boston, USA from April 28 to May 01. The company said that it is looking forward to being part of the Brokerslink community at the conference, meeting with clients, partners and fellow affiliates.
