Aspray have developed a lucrative and successful business managing building insurance claims. Now appointing franchisees to manage specific areas across the United Kingdom. Earning potential is huge!

Who are Aspray?

Founded in 2005 by Managing Director, James Whittle, Aspray has seen significant growth in recent years and is now a leader in its field.

Providing an award-winning service, Aspray works on behalf of the policyholder when they have experienced damage to their property from fire, flood, escape of water, storm, or impact.

When a policyholder makes a claim, they are entitled to appoint a representative who works in their best interests, this is where Aspray comes in. Our franchisees assess the damage to the property, negotiate a fair settlement directly with the insurer and project manage the repair works using their own network of vetted contractors.

Aspray is directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) with additional permission to hold client monies. We offer a personalised service, understanding the problems that policyholders face when they need to make a claim on their insurance policy. Our customers are our top priority and our service can help them save time and ensure they receive a fair settlement from their insurer.

When we say we put policyholders first…. we mean it!

Going above and beyond for policyholders is part of the norm for an Aspray franchisee and winning the ‘Outstanding Services to the Policyholder’ award at the British Claims Awards 2021 was a testament to all their hard work and dedication.

The Insurance Market

The size of the market is vast, property insurance protects millions of households and business premises across the UK with insurers paying out over £11 million per day to customers when the worst happens to their property. (ABI June 2021)

Training and Support

New franchisees are invited to a 10-day induction course taught by company and industry professionals and is in line with British Damage Management Association (BDMA) standards. The course is designed to provide you with everything you need to know to begin trading. However, training and support does not end there.

Aspray provide practical, in the field training and ongoing support for both operational and sales aspects of the role. This includes scoping, claims negotiation, networking, marketing, accounting, and much more.

Peer to peer support is encouraged amongst our network and we regularly hold virtual network support meeting where our franchisees can come to together for training and to share best practise.

For those who wish to go one step further, Aspray pay for each franchisee to undertake a BDMA qualification to either technician or practitioner level. This usually takes place 12-18 months after the start of trading.

Franchisee Focus: John Strange

Since joining Aspray in 2016, John Strange’s franchise has grown into a true team operation. Growing from just one employee to four, the team works in all aspects of the business from loss assessing and claims handling through to business development and marketing.

Along with his team, John leads the way in promoting the brand across his territory, sponsoring local ice hockey team, The Glasgow Clan and as the shorts sponsor for the 21/22 football season of St. Mirren F.C.
