🚀 The future of MGA claims is bright, and the energy at the MGAA Next Gen Claims panel at I Love Claims proved it! 🚀 From cultural fit in hiring to innovation, education, and cross-functional skills, our panelists shared invaluable insights on what’s shaping the next generation of claims professionals: Zara Williams – Why interviewing the interviewer is key to ensuring cultural fit. James Mather – The role of education and accreditations in developing young talent. Chris Brown – How passion and innovation drive both personal development and industry growth. Jess Woodhouse – The balance between claims and customer service, and why understanding both leads to a stronger, blended approach. The standing-room-only crowd showed just how much appetite there is for fresh ideas and collaboration in claims. A huge thank you to our panelists, host, Kajal Pankhania, audience, and event organisers for making it such a success!
