Added McClure, “Our new company will have significant market representation in all of the key hail-prone North American markets. This geographic presence will allow us to better serve our customers and to provide great opportunities for our employees as well as our appraisal and PDR technician partners.”

SolutionWorks will offer industry-leading hail catastrophe management, day-to-day claims handling and paintless dent repair services.

This combined strength in people and resources is now more important than ever in light of the challenges being presented by COVID-19.”
