Knowles Loss Adjusters (KLA) – which was acquired by Charles Taylor Adjusting (CTA) in 2014 – is to formally rebrand, taking on the name of its parent company.
KLA is the UK and Ireland p&c claims business of CTA, an international loss adjuster, and will rebrand to the Charles Taylor General Adjusting Services name, it was announced this morning.
CTA acquired the business to expand its UK property, casualty, construction and professional lines network through the addition of 10 KLA offices in the UK and Ireland.
KLA’s managing director, David Parker, said the rebranding – effective from January 23 – would leave KLA “better positioned to benefit from the global strength of the CTA brand and respond to tenders for national and UK headquartered multinational nominations.”

He continued: “I am very excited by this development and I am confident that our business will continue to grow and develop under the CTA branding.
“For our clients, it is ‘business as usual’ and we remain committed to the strong, longstanding relationships we have developed over many years.”
CTA’s managing director, Andrew Jackson, said: “Our management teams have worked together very successfully, combining KLA’s UK and Ireland reach and general adjusting capability in the personal lines and SME segments with CTA’s global reputation in handling complex and major losses in the aviation, energy, marine, technical and special risks sectors.
“We believe the time is now right for KLA to operate under the Charles Taylor brand.”
