ANA was founded on the belief that high quality loss adjusting services add value to the insurance process: we are a service based organisation in a sector where most suppliers are price focused.

We deliver high standards of service where others deliver the bare minimum.

And we agree, document and report on our delivery to these standards. Performance criteria such as response times and reporting formats are agreed in advance with each client, to their requirements.
