THE MA GROUP NEWSLETTER – FEBRUARY 2026

INTEGRA AND MA ASSIST PARTNERSHIP RENEWED 

MA Group is pleased to announce the continuation of its long‑standing relationship with Integra Insurance Solutions as we move into 2026.

Our relationship began in 2018 with Virtus Validations providing independent surveying and validation services. In 2024, it expanded to include MA Assist, delivering claims support for Integra customers who opted for a Building Repair Network solution. Under our newly agreed contract extension, MA Group looks forward to continuing to support Integra for many years to come, reinforcing and growing our strong, trusted, and collaborative relationship.

As we enter the eighth year of this partnership, MA Group remains focused on delivering a fast, high‑quality service that supports Integra Insurance Solutions in achieving its core objectives of Integrity, Innovation and Sustainability.

Melissa Bridges, MD of MA Group Property Claims, shared her thoughts on the renewal:

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Integra Insurance Solutions. This extension not only reflects our shared commitment to excellence but also reinforces our dedication to delivering innovative solutions that align with our mutual values. Together, we look forward to achieving even greater success in the years ahead.”

 

REVIVAL

In January alone, Revival Technicians entered 7,317 meter readings across 862 claims, enabling TREVOR to generate 3,769 scientifically predicted drying dates.

This scale of consistent data capture—combined with TREVOR’s predictive analytics—means insurers benefit from greater certainty, earlier decision-making and faster overall claim progression.

Revival’s average drying time held steady at 14 days, maintaining the strong performance achieved through the summer. This level of consistency demonstrates the reliability of TREVOR’s modelling under varying seasonal conditions.

NETWORK WITH MAGICMAN

We had a fantastic evening at The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) London Hub Construction Social on Wednesday. It was an honour for Magicman to be a part sponsor of the event. A huge thank you to Gemma, Stuart and Beth for organising such an excellent night.

MONDAY METHOD

We’re excited to share that we’ll soon be rolling out The Monday Method across MA Group — our new, unified Account Management Standard. It’s designed to bring greater consistency, clearer visibility, stronger governance, and an even better experience for every one of our clients.

To kick things off, we brought the team together for a hands‑on workshop. This first stage covered the core principles of the Monday Method, introduced the new workflow, clarified roles and responsibilities, and set out the governance rhythm that will guide how we work together going forward.

It’s an important step in making sure we’re all aligned on expectations, deliverables and ways of working — helping us raise performance, strengthen collaboration, and continue improving client satisfaction across the Group.
