Loss adjusting firm Woodgate & Clark has hired West Midlands Police alumnus Marie Quinn (pictured) as special investigations head.

Quinn – whose credentials include time spent at the Criminal Investigation Department before making the switch to the world of insurance – comes onboard the property and casualty claims management business after 18 years at RSA.

The insurer’s former counter-fraud head will be leading a team that provides end-to-end fraud investigation services to Woodgate & Clark clients across the UK.

Highlighting the significant impact on honest policyholders by way of increased premiums, the special investigations head said she looks forward to being on the frontlines of the company’s ongoing fight against insurance fraud, which Quinn stressed is a form of crime. 

“The opportunity to work in a business with committed, motivated, and highly qualified professionals was one I couldn’t refuse,” commented the key arrival, who holds a Master’s degree in fraud management.

“Woodgate & Clark is strongly focussed on growing its service proposition, and the new counter-fraud role presents an exciting challenge that will enable me to use all my skills and past experience to enhance the service provided to our insurer partners.”
