Innovation Group has been listed as 97th overall in the annual Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250.
Now in its 14th year, the prestigious league table ranks Britain’s top-performing private mid-market growth companies by sales. The year’s 250 companies have generated combined sales of £66.7bn, up 18% from £56.7bn in the prior year. The companies had combined profits of £6.4bn, up 27% from £5bn, and almost two thirds (152) of the companies increased their profit margin.
The 2018 league table is aimed at identifying mid-market growth companies that have expanded by managing risk, choosing the right strategic options and that make a clear contribution to the communities in which they are based.
Making its Top Track 250 debut, Innovation Group was listed as one of four representatives of the insurance industry.
Tim Griffiths, Group CEO of Innovation Group, said: “Innovation Group’s ranking in the Top Track 250 illustrates the continued development of our business on a global scale. We work with many leading international brands in the insurance and automotive sectors and they’re clear that they need us to deliver to their customers wherever they might be in the world. Our breadth of capability and geographic reach gives us a unique appeal to clients and we’re grateful for their support in helping us to reach this important milestone.”
It has four pedestrian crossings, 16 lanes of traffic, four service roads and dozens of traffic lights. It’s an intersection that tens of thousands of vehicles use every single day. But that day, it was the driver of an international power tool company that hit a 14-year-old girl, and ended her life. As if the case wasn’t tragic enough, there were suggestions of a hit-and-run, and the company name was splashed about the media. It was every employer’s nightmare. And it might have been preventable.
Every year, road-related health and safety incidents cost Australian companies $500 million. Out of all the worker-related fatalities, 38% are related to vehicles and driving. And compared to other types of accidents, road-related ones tend to pose the biggest threat in terms of individual harm — injuries from a crash are simply worse than any other type of common workplace injury.
And if those statistics weren’t bad enough, it’s an international problem that goes beyond the workplace. Road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death globally, and the leading cause of death for young people aged 15–29. More than a million people die each year on the roads globally, and the cost of dealing with the consequences of these road traffic crashes runs into billions of dollars.
Something an employee commonly does at home on the couch or in everyday life can be deadly when present behind the wheel. Distraction, inattention, fatigue, mobile phone use, substance use, and even just rushing — are all much riskier when they’re piloting a few tons of steel at high speeds. And yet, the risk behind the wheel still appears low, employees are likely to take shortcuts, and severe consequences do occur.
Employers can no longer afford to get by doing the bare minimum. Legislation dictates that responsibility for employees in road-related situations rests with the employer. This includes those who drive any vehicle for work purposes, those who simply shift cars from time to time, and even sometimes those driving between work and home. After-work drinks before driving home? Employer’s responsibility. A driver that is so fatigued after a shift that he is at risk while driving home? Employer’s responsibility. An employee who uses their own car for work, drives a courier van, uses a pool car, or drives long distance? You guessed it, employer’s responsibility.
Amendments to the Heavy Vehicle legislation were brought out in October which impose stronger obligations to those as part of a ‘Chain of Responsibility’.
What this means exactly is that multiple parties may be responsible for offences committed by the drivers and operators of heavy vehicles, from the employer of the driver, to the person scheduling the run, to the loader and unloader of goods in the vehicle. So, if a driver is found to have broken the speed limit, or driven while fatigued, everyone who was responsible for requiring that driver to undertake a journey in an unsafe manner could be prosecuted under the national law.
The new standard requires all parties to take ‘all reasonably practicable steps to ensure the safety of their transport activities’ which could mean in fact that businesses can be prosecuted for failing to put in place control structures and practices.
And the penalty is no small issue. Apart from the tragic loss of life, injuries, and impact on families and community — the financial risk is significant. If a director is found to not have fulfilled their responsibility, they face fines of up to $300,000 or even imprisonment.
Safe Work Australia summarises steps as identifying hazards, assessing risks, controlling them, and then reviewing measures taken. For road-related hazards, the most important thing that can be implemented is driver training. Drivers need to be provided with the opportunity to improve their skills, know their limits, and practice better risk management and decision making.
Of course, traditional training takes drivers away from their work for extended periods which means extra down-time. It is also often costly, and can be once-off learning that doesn’t use sound psychological principles. It can be a bit of a tick-the-box exercise, which really doesn’t focus on what’s important. Often, the confidence a driver will gain from traditional training will be detrimental – it’s a false confidence, and has been shown to be extremely unhelpful in the context of safe driving. Not to mention that behind-the-wheel training comes with its own set of risks to the participant, and the employers’ budget!
Train your drivers online. The research shows that video simulations used as part of a training programme, translate accurately to on-road learning and application. Data can be gathered on performance and skill level, reporting is more accurate, and the learning is consistently delivered to all participants, rather than relying on conditions on the road that day, or the skill level of the particular instructor.
That’s where Fleetcoach comes in. It’s self-paced adult learning, not just another online ‘test’. It’s been specifically designed to train your drivers in higher-level driving skills such as visual search (active eye-scanning) hazard perception and risk management. Hazard perception directly relates to crash-risk, and risk management teaches better decision-making when things get hairy. It reduces over-confidence, and includes specific and regularly-updated topic-based content on things such as reversing, mobile phone use, and fatigue. Plus, it uses an inclusive and effective wellbeing approach. This means Fleetcoach trains people to get to know their own triggers, to honestly answer questions about risk that applies to them, and also get them thinking about how they can contribute to a company culture that supports safety on the roads. Plus, the skills trained by Fleetcoach are just as applicable to other commercial vehicles as they are to passenger vehicles.
It’s been developed by psychologists and road-safety researchers who are experts in their fields, and is entirely based on scientific research. It’s a solution that works.
Your employees are going to encounter difficult situations on the road. Why not prepare them as best as you can?
We’ll leave you with the words of the National Road Safety Partnership Programme (NRSPP): Ultimately, road safety, both within an organisation and in the community environment, requires leadership, support and willingness to act.

The first six rounds of hearings in the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry are complete, with the much-anticipated Interim Report now available.
With further hearings scheduled for November 2018 in both Sydney and Melbourne, ahead of the final report due on 1 February 2019, we examine the key themes and issues that have come to light for general insurers along with what’s expected as the hearings continue, the possible reform agenda and take-away lessons.
The Royal Commission: an overview
The Royal Commission, established on 14 December 2017, is being held before the Honourable Kenneth Madison Hayne AC QC. Breaches of the General Insurance Code of Practice, poor claims handling, delayed claims and botched repairs are just some of the things that the hearings uncovered – and the media have subsequently shone a light on. While it’s still too early to know what the long-term impact of the findings might be, it’s not too late to take into consideration some key learnings from the hearings and contemplate ways to improve at a company and industry level.
Insurers under scrutiny
Conduct highlighted during the hearings included:
Ethical misconduct
Questions around the ethics of the financial and insurance industries are nothing new. However, the results from the Governance Institute’s Ethics Index show that the fallout from the Royal Commission has dragged down the overall score for trust in the ethics of companies. One in two Australians perceive life insurance companies as unethical and the banking, finance and insurance sector received the lowest vote of confidence of all the sectors.
Ethical issues raised during the hearing included the sales and remuneration models of some insurers, including excessive or unnecessary policy cover via third-party distributors, misleading customers and misrepresenting policy terms, poor claims-handling procedures and monitoring of compliance issues.
Some key lessons for insurers involve taking steps to:
Breach in compliance
Breaches to compliance processes – often repeated breaches – and delays in rectifying them was another common thread running through the hearings. Breaches commonly occurred in the provision of misleading content or through inadequate complaints processes.
To avoid compliance issues:
Poor claims handling
Delays in handling insurance claims, in particular following natural disasters, poor repair work and refusals to pay out on insurance policies due to complex and ineffective disclosure statements were all areas of concern highlighted during the hearings.
It’s clear that claims processes can be improved. How? Consider these take-aways:
What’s next for the Royal Commission
The ordeal is not over just yet for insurers.
The Royal Commission has already released policy considerations arising from the insurance public hearings and submissions relating to these policy questions are currently under review. These considerations pose questions that may spell significant changes for the insurance industry:
Trust in insurers right now may be at an all-time low. The publicity and common themes around unethical behaviour and poor service will clearly affect people’s willingness to trust. However, insurers can take this opportunity to take meaningful steps to ensure their workforce is guided by the right governance and put in place the right people, structures and practices to enable them to operate in a way that is ethical and fair. Regaining trust should be a priority.
The Fleetcoach programme has won a highly commended award at the 2018 Australasian Fleet Safety Awards, held in New Zealand last week. The company was presented with the Fleet Safety Product Award which recognises products that does the most to improve fleet safety through innovation.
Tony Brand, Head of Client Development at Innovation Group, said: “This is a well–deserved win for Fleetcoach, who are a key partner in our established online driver coaching programme. They consistently demonstrate that they are at the forefront of road safety innovation and we commend them for all the work they have done in building a positive road safety culture.”
The Fleet Safety Awards is run by Brake, a national road safety charity that works to prevent road deaths and injuries and support people bereaved and injured in crashes across New Zealand.

There are mounting calls to change consumer protection laws around the handling of life and general insurance claims, with several high-profile inquiries and investigations attracting media attention to this issue. What’s the upshot for insurers?
Under the Corporations Act, claims handling for life and general insurance is largely exempt from consumer protection provisions. This means insurers’ claims-handling activities don’t have to meet the requirements of being efficient, honest or fair. All other financial services activities attract these requirements.
The consequences of this discrepancy was highlighted in news reports recently. ASIC publicly voiced its frustration after it was limited to issuing a fine of only $43,200 to a major insurer in relation to what it says were “major flaws” in the way the insurer managed claims from the 2015 Wye River bushfires.
ASIC senior executive leader Michael Saadat told a government committee: “We would have liked to have addressed the problems with the claims-handling process and that is something we weren’t able to address because of the legislation we currently have in place.”
ASIC’s push for change is, of course, set against the backdrop of several inquiries and investigations. These include the Royal Commission into the Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry which is currently conducting hearings and the ACCC’s inquiry into the supply of residential, contents and strata insurance in northern Australia, following direction from the Australian Government. A Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services released a report in March this year which recommended the government consider whether the insurance claims handling exemption should continue.
Of course, it’s not just the legal obligations of insurers that is in the spotlight. The proposed legal changes flow from expectations around the human and social obligations of insurers. In one news report, a federal Liberal MP accused an insurer of “deliberately low-balling quotes” to rebuild homes that were destroyed in the Wye River bushfires and “making life extremely difficult” for at least six people who lost their homes to fire on Christmas Day.
It seems likely, therefore, that change is coming. Indeed, reports suggest that the Australian Government has accepted ASIC’s recommendation to remove the insurance claims handling exemption and is waiting for the findings of the banking royal commission before moving forward.
Whether the removal of the exemption for claims handling is full or partial, the change would greatly expand ASIC’s power to regulate the insurance claims handling process. ASIC has already signalled that it is interested in improving its ability to take action on unnecessary or extensive delays in handling claims. So, it’s likely insurers will be under increased scrutiny if the exemption is removed, with regulators having more power to regularly investigate, and possibly review, claim files.
What can insurers do right now to prepare for change? For starters, they can continue to monitor the inquiries and investigations. They can also take advantage of this early opportunity to review their claims-handling practices, processes and protocols in light of the key areas the consumer protection legislation focuses on: efficiency, honesty and fairness.
Taking a “wait and see” approach is risky. While it’s clearly likely that more significant penalties for misconduct in relation to insurance claims handling will soon be on the table, risks to brand reputation and possible lawsuits exist regardless of any legislative change.
Developing consistent standards for claims timeframes, ensuring claims processes regarding products are communicated to policyholders, and better reporting to ensure transparent claims data will help insurers meet any new obligations. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of these changes and focusing on this – even if it means bringing in external resources to free up or assist internal teams – should be a priority.
Innovation Group, a global provider of business process services to the insurance, financial and automotive industries, has set up new premises in Melbourne for its Australian head office.
The move provides the company with cutting-edge facilities from which it can continue to develop and deliver enhanced services to their insurance and fleet clients. Located within the CBD on Exhibition Street, the office provides a better working environment for its employees, with space including flexible working stations for cross-team collaboration and a dedicated training suite to support the skills transfer Innovation Group uses to empower its employees, customers and partners.
Rod Wood, Managing Director, Australia at Innovation Group said:
“This new exciting space will provide our team with the collaborative and functional space required to deliver first-class solutions to our clients. With our sustainable business strategy and primary focus on our clients, Innovation Group will continue to invest in growing the value of our business through enhanced service quality.”
Innovation Group (IG) has today announced that its UK business is acquiring TCS Claims (TCS) from Endsleigh Insurance Services Ltd, and starting a strategic relationship with Endsleigh for the provision of claims handling services.
The transaction sees IG acquire the assets of Burnley-based TCS, which was established by Endsleigh in 1999. The business provides a full-service claims handling capability to a number of insurers, brokers, MGAs and fleet operators. As part of the transaction, IG will combine its extensive repair network with TCS’s claims handling expertise to create a market-leading, end-to-end claims capability. IG will also invest significantly in the technology platforms provided to clients to offer a fully integrated, digital claims journey. As part of the broader relationship announced today, IG will become the exclusive partner for Endsleigh’s future claims handling requirements. This will incorporate claims activity for a full range of motor and property perils on behalf of the broker, including student possessions, contents, block hall, landlords and travel. This builds on a longstanding relationship between IG and Endsleigh, dating back to 1999.
Tim Griffiths, Group CEO of Innovation Group, said: “This is an important development for Innovation Group’s UK business and marks our entry into the market as a fully integrated claims manager. With our extensive UK repair network and TCS’s considerable skills and expertise, we firmly believe we will be at the forefront of a rapidly developing market. As we have witnessed in other geographies, our clients are increasingly seeking an end-to-end claims capability and TCS is the perfect partner, both for our UK business and as a means of developing this capability globally. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues to Innovation Group and to working with them as we integrate the business. Furthermore, the announcement of a long-term, strategic relationship for the management of Endsleigh’s future claims requirements is an equally significant development.”
Jeff Brinley, CEO of Endsleigh, adds: “This is a really exciting time for us and we are delighted to commence the strategic relationship with Innovation Group, to ensure we bring compelling claims propositions to our customers. This arrangement also means that all our colleagues currently working within the TCS claims operation will transfer their employment under a TUPE agreement. The acquisition by Innovation Group forms part of the announcement we made last year regarding a strategic review of our business and a transformation programme to ensure we are in the best shape to grow in core areas, together with meeting the evolving needs of our customers, insurers and partners.”

Vehicle Value Added Products and Services: The key to keeping customers engaged
The economic landscape continues to shift, in an unpredictable manner, forcing customers to be smarter with their money. “For the vehicle industry, the result is that clients are choosing to hang onto their cars for longer periods of time before they consider trading in for something new,” says Karin Kruger, Director of Operations at Innovation Group South Africa. “This poses a new challenge for dealers. How do they keep consumers hooked for the long run during a time where every bit of loyalty counts?”
Sales aftercare is of course important in keeping clients interested in a brand. But have you ever stopped to consider the crucial role value-added products and services (VAPS) play, particularly in creating and maintaining customer engagement for years to come – to the point of a new purchase sometime in the future?
What are value-added products and services?
To put it simply, VAPS are essentially the little extras a consumer adds on to their vehicle to keep it looking and feeling like it was just driven off the showroom floor – long after the fact. It can also give them some security in that they are covered in the event of an accident or other unexpected occurrences.
Some of these additions need to be purchased along with the car from day one. There are others, however, which can be added to an insurance policy or motor plan or as standalone products beyond the car’s date of purchase.
The usual suspects
You’re probably already familiar with a variety of VAPS, like the standard car maintenance plan for instance. It gives a client peace of mind in that if they purchase a vehicle, its upkeep – services, replacing of certain wear and tear parts, and more – is something they won’t have to worry about for a certain number of years (or kilometres). It also means they’ll visit the dealer regularly, which is a golden opportunity to engage with them further.
A customer also has other common VAPS to choose from, like an extended warranty plan to cover a vehicle’s parts for longer periods of time. These extras all play their part in improving the lifecycle of a vehicle, which is exactly what today’s cash-strapped consumer is after.
Additional VAPS
The reality is that no matter how well a client looks after their vehicle, there are unknown factors and forces out there that are beyond their control. Think about chip damage to a windscreen, for example. All it takes to inflict that damage is one stray stone. Then there’s the matter of scratches and dents, both of which can find their way onto a car with seemingly minimal effort, and stray potholes that can really damage tyres and rims – crucial components that aren’t exactly cheap to replace.
Thankfully, there are certain VAPS that are designed to protect a vehicle in the event that any of the above happens. Scratch and dent, tyre and rim guard, and other kinds of cover exists to address exactly these sorts of dilemmas. Seeing as the customer of today wants extra value wherever they can find it, and to safeguard their savings in the face of uncertainty, these additional products and services can go a long way in securing their engagement.
Cover all bases
With customers keeping their cars for longer, it’s more important than ever to keep them engaged for the long run. The above are just a few examples of VAPS that can do just that. There are others to keep in mind of course, like excess buy-back, roadside assistance, and more.
“Ultimately though, all VAPS are designed to provide additional value to the consumer, which is exactly what they desire in these unclear economic times,” concludes Kruger. “Ensure you offer the right value-added products and services, and you’re sure to keep a client engaged today, and well into the future.”

The insurance industry is in a race against time to rejuvenate their offerings to an audience whose demands are different from anything they’ve seen before. During a time where Millennials are driving business innovation, it’s important to consider what this generation’s insurance needs are if your business is going to move forward.
While traditional insurance companies are still very much relevant among an older generation, Millennials are taking more of an interest in offerings based on simplicity and personalisation. Thus, the shift towards peer-to-peer insurance companies has begun.
These companies use social technology to allow a group of like-minded people to pool their premiums together. And doesn’t it make sense for people with similar insurance needs to be grouped together? For example, the premiums of those with similar risk profiles won’t necessarily be affected by high-risk individuals because you can simply choose to exclude them from your pool if need be. Similarly, by pooling premium funds with people who know each other, there’s a greater sense of transparency. Every member knows who’s in the group, who’s filing a claim and how much money there is left in the pool.
“As Millennials are a community interested in innovative technology, they’re always keen to try something new,” says Drew Schnehage, Commercial Director at Innovation Group. “Peer-to-peer companies were able to find a gap in the market and provide this generation with something they didn’t even know they were looking for,” she adds.
Besides catering to the needs of Millennials and other future consumers, these companies’ clients are also at an advantage because their premiums are often lower than those associated with traditional insurance companies. “Peer-to-peer companies are able to lower your insurance premiums by cutting down on costs often associated with large companies,” explains Schnehage. These companies rid themselves of costs involved with spend on employees, advertising and tech expenses for example, and instead invests it in reinsurance and paying claims.
You’ll also find filing claims to be a lot easier, and pay-outs are often made in just a few minutes. Because Peer-to-peer companies are primarily digitally driven, it allows for streamlined processes that make for a better user experience that even the biggest players in the sector can’t match.
“While the insurance industry is often criticised for their lack of innovation, this move toward technology breathes new life into an age-old service.” says Schnehage. “By answering just a few questions online, you’re able to immediately receive a quote and make your payment using the same portal, which is key during a time where ease of use can make or break a business model.”
Peer-to-peer insurance has already disrupted the industry through its ability to offer better premiums and more personalised policies for the generation that thrives on convenience and value for money. While these companies are all digital, they do not cater to those who cherish relationships with insurance agents for example. It’s also a new development, so their market share is still small. Despite this, there’s still a great movement towards these innovative companies, and they’re likely here to stay.
Drew Schnehage, Commercial Director: Innovation Group South Africa
According to the Automobile Association of South Africa, there are 11.4 million registered vehicles on South Africa’s roads and between 65% and 70% of those cars are uninsured. This is alarming because although some motorists may argue that car insurance is too expensive, accidents do occur and driving without cover can have greater financial implications.
With the year having just begun, it’s as good a time as ever to review existing car insurance policies or even apply for one.“People may be looking to buy a new vehicle or maybe they’re simply looking for something more affordable on their existing premium. Regardless, there are a few key points that should always be considered before making a final decision on insurance.” says Drew Schnehage, Commercial Director at Innovation Group.
Many consumers will be looking to do just that – weighing up options and deciding what solution works best for them. If you’re one of those looking to get your 2018 off to the right start, here are some things to keep in mind:
For many, price is the most important and the deciding factor when it comes to choosing a car insurance policy. However, many forget that cost is a combination of several factors including; excess structure, additional non-standard items fitted onto a vehicle and for the savvier insurers; the amount and way a person drives.
“Know yourself and your individual situation,” says Drew. “Vehicles are the most valuable assets for some people and being without it can have serious ramifications. Does your policy provide car hire, for example? Foregoing this service may lower the cost of your insurance policy, but this may not be beneficial in the long run if you rely on your automobile to get to work or to make a living.”
These are two factors whose cost is directly determined by the other. But which is the more important one for you to focus on? – It all depends on your financial situation.
If you do have a sum of money saved up, it may be worth going for a lower premium and a more expensive excess. In the unfortunate event of an incident, you will then be able to afford to pay the necessary fee, even if it is higher than normal.
On the other hand, if your financial situation is a little less sturdy, it’s worth paying a little extra each month for your premium. This way, if you do need to make a claim at any stage, there will still be an excess to pay, but it won’t be beyond your means.
Thanks to technology, it’s now easier than ever to get a number of quotes in a matter of minutes. However, that process can still be confusing, as it tends to not include any detailed information about what exactly is being offered.
If you’re unable to work through the details yourself, a good broker should be able to assist in providing an informed and impartial decision regarding the cost of the car insurance policy and the benefits that accompany it. That being said, it’s still up to you, the consumer, to make sure there is no uncertainty around the quote and the level of cover being offered. Does it best fit your requirements?
It’s very easy to get a single estimate, one that offers a seemingly great premium with matching benefits and take it, thinking that there isn’t anything better on the market. This, though, is a mistake that should definitely be avoided. At the very least, consider getting a minimum of three quotes from a variety of reputable companies.
“The insurance space is highly competitive,“ says Drew. “Every organisation tries to differentiate their packages so that they stand out in the market. Remember, the special feature of one product may not necessarily appeal to everyone. Shop around and find the right solution that suits your specific needs.”
Market value, age of the vehicle and added extras are just a few variables insurers consider when determining their price. Driver age, vehicle storage and usage, secondary drivers and driver behaviour are considered too.
“Don’t forget about good risk management when it comes to decreasing costs” adds Drew. “Parking in secure locations (both day and night), fitting a tracking device to monitor driver behaviour and vehicle whereabouts, ensuring that the correct (depreciated) market value of the vehicle is recorded by the insurance company and more, can push down the price of your premium.”
There may not be a plan that ticks every box from A to Z, but keeping all the above points in mind will certainly help you find the one that’s best suited to whatever your personal car policy needs are. Whether you’re looking to reinsure your existing vehicle or insure a brand new one; make sure you take the time to find the perfect package and get your year off to a perfect, safe start.
