Repair Link

What Repair Link does

Repair Link Ltd is a UK-based, privately-held accident management services provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Nantwich, England. The company coordinates the full post-accident lifecycle on behalf of fleet operators, motor insurers, and Managing General Agents (MGAs), handling first notification of loss (FNOL), engineer inspections, vehicle recovery, replacement vehicles, repair coordination through a vetted panel of 300+ accredited repairers across the UK and Northern Ireland, salvage disposal, third-party intervention for credit hire avoidance and cash settlements, MIB/MIAFTR checks, and centralised billing.

The firm's core technology is an in-house proprietary management system that is programmed to individual client specifications. This system underpins bespoke FNOL capture, custom communications workflows, supplier integration, and XML/API data exchange with clients. Client-facing tools include a web-based online repair tracking system (allowing fleet operators to monitor repairs by vehicle registration) and a secure client log-in portal for accessing reports, image reports, and invoice packs.

Repair Link operates on a B2B enterprise sales model led by Managing Director Jason Ingham, with services priced on a quote basis and tailored to client requirements. Revenue is generated through managed-service fees across the accident lifecycle, transaction-based fees for third-party intervention cost savings, and centralised billing for multi-provider engagements. The company has remained founder-owned and bootstrapped throughout its 20+ years of trading, with no disclosed external funding or acquisitions.
