What Thomas Miller Claims does

Thomas Miller Claims Management (TMCM) is a UK-headquartered specialist claims management and third-party administration firm operating across maritime, cruise, yacht, ports and terminals, commercial fishing, energy, construction, and insurance sectors. Founded in 2007 and operating from headquarters in Newcastle-upon-Tyne with offices in London, Sydney, and Mandeville (Louisiana), the company delivers six core service lines: Specialist Claims Handling, Third Party Administration, Medical Assistance (including 24/7 telemedicine), Offshore Personal Injury, Legacy Claims Solutions, and Audits. Its clients are predominantly enterprise counterparties — major maritime insurers, P&I clubs, cruise lines, offshore energy operators, and US construction developers — served through bespoke, quote-based engagements rather than standardised pricing.

The firm underpins its service delivery with the proprietary Virtual Claims Adjuster (VCA) database, providing clients 24/7 access to claims trends, reserves, documentation, and status, and supporting the production of Lloyd's Standard Bordereaux and customisable loss runs. Multidisciplinary in-house expertise — including ex-mariners, engineers, medical doctors, registered nurses, and specialist claims handlers — is complemented by an international correspondent network, many members of the Lloyd's Agency Network, and built-in sanctions screening against HM Treasury and OFAC lists.

TMCM operates as a privately held subsidiary of Thomas Miller Group, a London-based insurance services group with heritage dating to 1885 and over 900 employees across 19 countries and 31 offices. TMCM formally joined the group in January 2024, gaining access to related businesses including UK P&I Club, TT Club, UK Defence Club, and Shearwater Law. In 2024 the company acquired Condon Claims Management (CCM), extending its footprint into US construction developer claims. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external venture capital or private equity backing has been identified.
