Concept Claim Solutions seeks to diversify insurance and property claims management franchising

These traditionally male-dominated sectors have much to offer both women and members of the LGBTQ+ community

The franchise sector plays a vital role in the UK economy, contributing an impressive £19.1 billion while simultaneously providing opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs. However, the insurance and property claims management franchise industries have traditionally been male-dominated, and this has led to the under-representation of crucial voices, particularly women and individuals from the LGBTQ+ community.

This state of affairs has been highlighted by Concept Claim Solutions, which is committed to changing this narrative. Its mission, the brand explains, is to create an inclusive platform where everyone – regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or background – can thrive and make meaningful contributions to the industry while enjoying the freedom of being their own boss.

The insurance sector offers excellent opportunities for customer-centric and hard-working individuals, a fact that’s illustrated by two members of Concept Claim Solutions’ franchise team , who were recently named as finalists in the esteemed 2025 NatWest Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWiF) Awards.

Michelle Mellor has been nominated for the “Woman Franchise Employee of the Year” Award, recognising her outstanding contributions and impact on the insurance industry, while Rebecca Dean is a finalist for the “Inspirational Woman in Franchising of the Year” Award – an acknowledgement of her commitment to growing Concept Claim Solutions and her passion for community initiatives (both pictured above).

The EWiF Awards celebrate the amazing achievements of women at every stage of their franchise journey. The awards ceremony will take place in London on 15 May 2025.
