We bring together a world-class supplier network, outstanding people and sophisticated technology platforms to provide three principal advantages to our clients and their customers.

Our 3,300 employees across Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia serve over 1200 clients, including 15 of the top 20 global general insurers and three of the top five fleet and lease management companies.

We aim to continually go beyond expectations for our clients and their customers. Each year we process over four million insurance claims, saving leading insurers tens of millions of pounds; we create thousands of sales opportunities for dealerships and OEMs through our service plan and warranty business, and we apply the data we gather to lead positive change across all the sectors we service.

Our history

Innovation Group was founded in the United Kingdom in 1996 as Merlinace, becoming Innovation Group in 1999 with the acquisition of the accident management company MotorCare. The company went public in 2000, moved into North America in 2001, and continued to grow through a series of acquisitions over the following decade and more. In December 2015, Innovation Group became a private company through an investment made by The Carlyle Group, a leading global alternative asset manager.
