A MOTOR accident claims company has boosted its workforce by more than 60 per cent and could be set to create scores more jobs on the back of account wins across the country.

Wisecall Claims Assistance Limited has landed contracts with several intermediaries and insurers after moving from Washington, in Wearside, to larger offices in Sunderland to allow for further growth.

The company, which started operating ten years ago with three employees, has now boosted its workforce from 45 to 75 only 12 months after the move.

Wisecall – which recently invested £200,000 in new software – is taking on a further ten staff this year, and is looking to recruit beyond that at its new base, which can accommodate up to 250 people.

Donald Rodger, managing director at Wisecall, said: “Since moving premises we have almost doubled our employee numbers and at the moment we are recruiting every couple of months just to keep up with the demands of the business.”

Wisecall supplies claims assistance to insurance providers across the country, which can include anything from a breakdown service or tailored accident management to policy excess protection.

It was helped to move into its new premises by Sunderland City Council.
