WELCOME

Different

Exciting. Passionate. Interesting. Innovative. Bespoke. Obsessed. And, above all else,

Different.

These are not the words or sentiments that you would normally use to describe an

organisation whose key focus is the management of total loss claims for insurers, claims

managers, fleets and others. You may be more used to the standard corporate messaging

around the quality of service, price competitiveness, auction returns, et al.

All of which e2e Total Loss Claims Management can match or outperform our competitors in.

But, to our way of thinking, that is not enough.

Obsessed

Behind every total loss claim there is a policyholder or fleet owner/driver. Over 550,000

claims of this type are typically registered in a single year, and that means 550,000 instances

of inconvenience, financial loss, possible tragedy, emotional distress, or injury. Over 550,000

occasions when the insurer or claims manager needs someone to step into their shoes,

and also the shoes of their customers. Over 550,000 opportunities to help deliver on the

fundamental promises of the insurance contract and also to maximise legitimate financial

returns from the disposal of the vehicle.

These are the real roles of e2e Total Loss Claims Management.

Unique

In the following pages, you will see the strength of the absolutely unique business model that

we operate, where 11 independently owned and managed salvage operations come together

to create a different and superior offer for our corporate clients. You will also read of the

passion and belief of our staff, the exciting new technologies we are deploying to achieve our

clients’ goals, and the way in which we are constantly challenging ourselves to deliver new

and qualitative solutions that will better serve our clients and their customers.

If you are seeking a plain vanilla, ‘off-the-shelf’ salvage solution, then e2e is probably not for

you. If, on the other hand, you really want to deliver something bespoke and different to your

customers, then please come and talk to us. We love to listen.

4 e2e Supplement


The e2e Business Model

Delivering Excellence. Differently.

In 1985 the concept of e2e was born and a number of independent, highly

skilled, entrepreneurial businesses came together to offer a national network of

service providers to the market. Major insurers bought into the concept and the

throughput of e2e including salvage auction proceeds amounted to some £100m

in 2024/25.

Tens of thousands of claims have been processed in the last

40 years, and as the market has developed, we too have

changed the details of our core delivery with ever-increasing

use of technology, improving standards, and our clear focus

on ESG objectives, all now a standard part of our work with

clients.

However, at the heart of e2e is that unchanging capability

to deliver excellence, differently.

Unlike the changing corporate guard of giant corporations,

we have maintained a consistency of ownership that brings

with it vast expertise, inter-generational knowledge, and

entrepreneurial instincts that work to the best advantage

of clients. To have survived and prospered in a highly

competitive market, our Members know that they must be

agile, innovative, and adaptable. It is a never-ending and

entirely welcome challenge to stay ahead of the game.

Strength in Numbers

The 11 core Members of the e2e network deliver a national

service from 30+ authorised sites and, between them, they

employ almost 1,200 people.

A deliberate policy of operating slightly below maximum

capacity means that we can cope with surges and

emergencies, and our record of rapidly responding to the

sudden needs of our clients is exemplary. A spike in claims

numbers caused by fire, floods, and bad weather is all part

of the daily business life of an e2e Member. Of course, we are

also able to co-ordinate and intelligently manage workflows

between Members, and there is a great deal of intra-network

collaboration when needed.

Incentivising Superior Performance for Clients

Operating an exacting standards regime of process, people,

and technologies, plus a massive commitment to ESG targets

and outcomes, demands a great deal of our Members,

and their reward is simple – additional profits retained at a

local level from the claims and associated services that e2e

manages on behalf of insurer, claims manager, and corporate

clients.

This flexibility and motivation mean that e2e Members will

always strive to deliver the very best because their business

may depend on it.

Member Ownership Drives e2e Collaboration

We have heard it said that the network management model

simply creates a recipe for conflict between the ‘Head

Office’ operation and local suppliers. Instead of harmony and

collaboration, there is argument and disagreement.

This may well be the case with others who seek to emulate

us, but our real strength lies in the fact that e2e is owned by

our Members. This means that they have a vested and direct

financial interest in driving the success of e2e. The national

organisation is their organisation, and our future is an integral

part of their future.

This unique business model means that everyone from the top

of the organisation to the newly recruited collections driver

is incentivised to deliver only the very best and to maintain

incredibly high standards for our clients and customers.

New Solutions for Age-Old Problems

We make no apologies for constantly asking of ourselves, our

clients, and our customers a simple question with potentially

profound consequences.

Why?

The role of e2e is to seek out new solutions at all stages

of the claims management process. These may be around

the possibilities presented by new technologies, better

communication, greater understanding of our clients’ issues,

or maybe mapping the emotional state of customers and

seeking to improve their journey.

But it is equally incumbent upon us to never stop looking for

the new solutions that will better suit today’s and tomorrow’s

market. By always questioning what we do, how we do it, and

examining better ways of delivering excellence, we fulfil our

underlying role of maximising the returns for our clients whilst

minimising your effort and the efforts of your customers to

rapidly close the claim.

The Benefits of Local Disruption

There are potential clients in our market who prefer to deal

with larger corporate suppliers that are answerable to owners

elsewhere. We understand that motive and fully support

those who choose that route.

But here at e2e, we bring a swiftness and speed of action,

a locally based total commitment to you, and the ability

to bespoke design those solutions that best suit your

circumstances. We aim to disrupt established norms in favour

of a regime that is constantly seeking to improve, brings real

meaning to the concept of partnering with our clients, and

where the customer is the ultimate arbiter of all that is good.

Designed with passion, delivered with total commitment, and

never being satisfied with ‘good enough’.

Delivering excellence, differently.

CEO, e2e Total Loss Claims Management

NOTIFICATION

AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT BY

E2E & TOTAL LOSS STATUS

Hi, I’m Jenny. A loyal policyholder

who has had an incident in my

car. I know I must contact you

and it looks as though I have a

choice of methods to report.

I can go online and file my report.

Even from the roadside. It’s easy

to complete the details and

maybe even upload photos I have

already taken at the scene.

Incident details, location,

TP info, weather, metadata,

counter fraud

CLAIMS

I can give them a call if I prefer.

Both methods will ask me to

describe the damage to my “vehicle using plain English.

e2e can auto send a text with a link to upload

information, images, video and attachments.

Whenever information is being received the e2e

system is already working in the background to

RAG assess the likelihood of a total loss. This

applies to all claims no matter how they are

received

6 e2e Supplement


Jenny’s car is looking a bit sick but the e2e

system is working away to get Jenny back

on the road. Every claim that comes in is

assessed for RAG against agreed criteria and

the good news for most claimants is that the

car can be fixed by an approved repairer

Sadly, Jenny’s pride and joy has been

assessed as a Total Loss. Instructions

are issued for collection straight into

the e2e claims management system

Jenny is automatically notified of the

current status and next steps

Vehicles assessed as Amber or

Green will be in the system for

allocation to a repairer. There will

be far fewer Ambers because of

the use of imagery uploaded on

the e2e link

CONTINUOUS

COMMUNICATION

VALUATION & SETTLEMENT

It’s sad that I have lost my car, and I

am worried about how I will manage.

But at least I know what is happening,

and that’s a relief. I get texts to keep

me informed of the next steps and to

arrange the collection of my vehicle.

I’m also told that my valuation and

settlement information will be on its way

within hours. That’s a load off my mind.

CLAIMS

Valuations by e2e using multiple

methods are used to create an

auto offer of settlement to Jenny

sent by text/email. Acceptance

results in auto payment or there

can further negotiation if needed.

APPROVED REPAIRER NETWORK OR

STORAGE GARAGE

Amber cases can be further inspected

by e2e engineers either through online

assessment or field visits. Collection within

SLA auto arranged where needed.

Collection within SLAs Image uploads

from collection point/roadside as needed.

Immediate Engineers report completed at

the scene.

Auto categorisation from

images or engineer assessment.

Preparation for auction or parts.

Thank you

You’ve been amazing!

e2e Supplement 7


THE

FUTURE

HOLDS

In a world dominated by technology, AI, and the

ever-changing needs of the consumer, it is clear that

the salvage and total loss sector must throw off the

shackles of misperception and drive ever higher

standards of innovation and service.

The second wave of change is that insurer, claims

management, and fleet clients have the right to expect

a new degree of professionalism that, in turn, delivers

increasing sophistication of analysis, intelligent claims

management, and legitimate maximisation of returns.

Finally, the third wave of change will be around the

Consumer Duty requirements (or their equivalents in

the future), which brings home to the whole supply

chain that their core role is to aid their regulated

clients in the delivery of products and services that

are of real, transparent, and fair value to policyholders.

Means to an End

Added together, these trends amount to a continuing

shift in the need for our sector to recognise that

the technical management of salvage and total loss

vehicles is the means to an end. It is not the end itself.

Of course, there will be continuing and new technical

challenges in the disposal of EVs and the handling of

data-managed vehicles, but in truth, these types of

developments are nothing new in the motor industry.

In 10 years’ time, we will be having entirely different

debates about the technology of vehicles, but our

sector will rise to current and future fears with the

entrepreneurial zeal and innovation that is typical of

our Members. Solutions will be found.

Therefore, we should not be complacent, but nor

should we be fearful.

Instead, the end goals that our clients and customers

seek are environmentally, ethically, and regulatory

practices that deliver the maximum possible benefits

in financial return to client and customer alike, reduced

cycle times to ‘close’ the claim as soon as possible, and

an operational ecosystem that delivers super smooth

claims management for all the stakeholders.

Living the Green

Closely allied to the needs of satisfying financial and

customer service needs is the consumer and corporate

desire to see suppliers having a greater positive impact

on the circular economy. We should not be blinded

by the hype, but there is nevertheless a significantly

increased exposure to the use of recycled parts in

vehicle repair, and thereby avoiding a total loss.

The potential penetration of these parts is, of course,

limited by their availability, but we can be sure that

the demand will continue to increase as customers

understand more about the environmental benefits

of green parts and who will realise the probity and

structural safety of these parts.

8 e2e Supplement


Equally, insurers must understand that their repairer

and salvage suppliers exist to make a profit. Fair

recompense models will need to become prevalent

throughout the sector if recycled parts are to ever fulfil

their potential.

Consolidation Scuppers Competition

It is to be hoped that the current wave of consolidation

in the insurer sector, and also in sector suppliers,

does not lead to a series of default decisions that are

based more around risk management than they are

about innovation and advancement. Playing the role

of disruptor and challenger is a familiar position for

e2e and one that we welcome. Joint supply contracts

in any supplier or procurement arrangement are the

norm in many sectors, and we would hope to see more

of this as insurers succeed in ‘putting the customer at

the heart of everything that we do’.

The delivery of such a sentiment requires healthy

competition to constantly drive new solutions, and we

look forward to continuing our drive towards delivering

excellence, differently.

Revolutionising

Automotive Repairs:

How PartsMarket Is

Closing Gaps and

Driving Greener

Innovation

PartsMarket is being hailed as a revolutionary

platform in the automotive repair industry, but

what sparked its creation and how is it transforming

a traditionally fragmented system?

10 e2e Supplement


PartsMarket was developed to solve a fundamental problem

in the automotive repair sector: the outdated, inefficient way

in which repair centres and insurers sourced replacement

parts. Traditionally, this process relied on a cumbersome

network of phone calls, inconsistent supplier relationships

and manual systems that consumed time and slowed down

repairs. As vehicles became more complex and demand

increased, the gap between need and supply was widening,

making this manual approach no longer fit for purpose.

PartsMarket was created to bridge this gap. The platform

intercepts and interprets estimates generated by repair

assessors in real time. Instead of technicians manually

searching for parts, the technology automatically matches

the required components, verifies their availability across

the UK, and delivers a consolidated list to the repairer.

This significantly cuts down the time spent sourcing parts,

increases accuracy and improves the repair experience for

both professionals and customers.

Unlike traditional systems, PartsMarket offers live stock

checks across a network of trusted suppliers, ensuring the

best possible match between demand and supply. The

platform not only boosts efficiency for repairers but also

benefits insurers by helping reduce cycle times and credit hire

costs. The result is a faster, more streamlined process where

everyone wins.

Automated Precision: A Game Changer for the Industry

At the heart of the PartsMarket innovation is its seamless

integration with the systems bodyshops already use.

Most repairs begin with an Audatex assessment. As this is

completed, PartsMarket automatically captures the data

and instantly processes the parts requirements. The system

then matches the required items, checks for verification and

returns options including discounted prices and available

carbon savings.

What makes this truly transformative is its ability to

consolidate parts from multiple sites across the e2e Total Loss

Claims Management Network into one simple, unified order.

Delivery is guaranteed within 48 hours, saving significant

time and effort. Repairers no longer need to juggle multiple

platforms or make endless calls to find what they need. The

repair begins sooner, meaning customers get their vehicles

back faster, and both costs and emissions are reduced.

Using recycled parts has a profound environmental impact. It

reduces the need for new manufacturing, slashes emissions

and conserves raw materials. It also helps prevent salvageable

materials from ending up in landfill.

A feature emphasised by the e2e group is carbon

footprint tracking. For every part ordered through the

platform, users can see the environmental savings made. This

supports insurance companies and repairers in meeting their

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) objectives with

clear, measurable data.

To build trust in recycled components, PartsMarket ensures

strict supplier standards across the e2e network. Real-time

inventory accuracy, warranties, and quality checks help

guarantee that recycled parts meet expectations, eliminating

concerns about quality, delays or mismatched orders.

What’s Next for PartsMarket?

Looking ahead, the future of PartsMarket is focused on

even greater intelligence and automation. The next wave of

innovation includes integrating advanced AI to predict parts

demand based on claim trends, regional variations and vehicle

data. The goal is to make the platform not just reactive, but

predictive.

Further improvements are also being developed in how repair

estimates are parsed, making the process faster and even

more accurate. In addition, intelligent substitution suggestions

will allow repairers to choose the best parts in terms of cost,

availability and compliance with repair guidelines.

These enhancements will allow PartsMarket to take another

leap forward in helping insurers and repairers reduce manual

decision-making and deliver faster, greener and more costeffective

repairs.

By combining cutting-edge technology with sustainability and

operational efficiency, PartsMarket is not just keeping up with

the needs of the modern automotive industry – it’s setting the

standard.

This level of automation and intelligence simply didn’t

exist before in such a fragmented market. PartsMarket has

fundamentally reshaped how repairs are managed from

estimate to execution.

Driving Sustainability with Recycled Parts

Sustainability is becoming a priority across all sectors, and

the automotive repair industry is no exception. PartsMarket is

playing a leading role in creating a greener future by making

recycled parts a practical and appealing option.

The platform integrates recycled components directly into the

estimation and procurement process, placing them on equal

footing with new parts in terms of accessibility and reliability.

This removes many of the historical barriers that made

repairers hesitant to use recycled options.

Driving Change:

How Silverlake

Strengthens the e2e

Network’s Green

Vision

With an industry-leading recycling rate and pioneering approach

to reclaimed parts, Silverlake is helping to power e2e’s mission

for sustainable, responsible vehicle management. In this exclusive

interview, we explore how Silverlake is reshaping the future of

automotive recycling—from EV readiness to cultural change

through motorsport.

12 e2e Supplement


QHow does Silverlake’s high recycling rate

support e2e’s mission to offer environmentally

responsible vehicle management services?

A

By recycling over 97% of every end-of-life vehicle

it processes, Silverlake significantly supports the

mission of the e2e Total Loss Claims Management

network to provide environmentally responsible services.

This exceptional recycling rate exceeds the 95% standard

set by the Environment Agency for Authorised Treatment

Facilities. Nearly every vehicle component — from metals

and plastics to oils and fluids, is recovered, reused, or

repurposed, dramatically reducing waste and conserving

natural resources.

For e2e, which unites like-minded salvage and recycling

partners across the UK, such performance is essential to

fulfilling its environmental commitments. Silverlake’s work

feeds directly into the circular economy, helping insurers

and fleet managers meet green targets, and reassuring

environmentally conscious consumers that vehicles are

handled responsibly.

By exceeding recycling standards, Silverlake reinforces

e2e’s reputation for compliance and sustainability, all

while supporting the automotive industry’s transition to a

greener future.

QIn what ways does being part of the e2e network

help Silverlake improve its environmental

performance and meet regulatory targets?

A

Being part of the e2e network enhances

Silverlake’s ability to improve its environmental

performance and meet, or exceed, regulatory

targets through collaborative initiatives such as Sustain

360, e2e’s ESG programme.

Sustain 360 gives Silverlake access to sustainability data,

benchmarking tools, and shared best practices across

the network. This supports targeted improvements, from

emissions reduction to waste minimisation.

e2e also sets consistent environmental standards across

all members, helping Silverlake maintain compliance

with the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive and other UK

environmental legislation. Peer accountability and shared

goals support continuous improvement.

Silverlake also benefits from shared innovations in green

technologies, materials recovery, and fluid handling.

All vital to increasing recycling rates and minimising

environmental impact.

Transparent reporting through Sustain 360 aids with

audits and certification, and helps build trust with

insurers, regulators, and customers. Supplying qualityassured,

green parts helps reduce reliance on newly

manufactured components and their associated

emissions, with validated savings reinforcing their realworld

environmental value.

QHow is Silverlake helping e2e promote the use of

reclaimed parts across the insurance industry?

A

Silverlake plays a pivotal role in promoting

reclaimed parts across the insurance industry,

positioning them as smart, sustainable alternatives

to new components.

Heavy investment in advanced dismantling and inventory

systems ensures every reclaimed part meets strict quality,

safety, and traceability standards, giving insurers and

repairers confidence in their use.

By integrating its inventory with e2e’s digital platform,

Silverlake provides real-time access to thousands of

competitively priced components, streamlining claims

and repair cycles.

Silverlake supports e2e’s educational work, helping

insurers understand the cost savings, carbon benefits,

and waste reductions associated with green parts. This

feeds into the Sustain 360 programme, which measures

and reports on the environmental gains.

Through collaboration on green parts trial programmes,

Silverlake helps insurers integrate reclaimed parts into

repair workflows, particularly for non-safety-critical items

such as bumpers, panels, lights, and wheels, making

sustainable repairs a practical reality.

QWhat role is Silverlake playing in helping e2e

prepare for the rise in electric and hybrid

vehicles, especially in terms of safety and

regulation?

A

Silverlake is leading e2e’s preparations for the

surge in electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs and

HEVs), addressing emerging challenges in safety,

regulation, and specialist handling.

The company has created dedicated EV zones for safe

dismantling and storage, especially for high-voltage

batteries. These zones meet strict health and safety

standards, helping mitigate risks such as fire and

environmental hazards.

Silverlake’s operatives are trained to IMI Level 3 and

above in EV dismantling, ensuring safe, compliant

handling of high-voltage systems. This supports e2e’s

network-wide commitment to high safety and regulatory

standards.

Silverlake is also pioneering regulatory-compliant

solutions for lithium-ion battery storage, containment,

transport, and repurposing. Models that can be rolled out

across the network.

By recovering EV components such as batteries and

drive units for reuse, Silverlake is opening up new circular

economy opportunities. These include secondary energy

storage and reclaimed EV parts for repairs, helping shape

e2e’s emerging best practices as the vehicle parc evolves.

e2e Supplement 13


QSilverlake offers some unique services like

U-Pick-It and partnerships in motorsport — how

do these support e2e’s goal of making reclaimed

parts more mainstream?

ASilverlake’s U-Pick-It self-service yard and

motorsport partnerships make reclaimed parts

more visible, accessible, and desirable, helping e2e

drive mainstream adoption.

U-Pick-It allows the public to remove parts directly from

vehicles, making reclaimed parts more affordable and

introducing DIY mechanics to their practical value. This

broadens engagement beyond trade customers and

encourages a cultural shift towards reuse.

In motorsport, Silverlake’s partnerships demonstrate that

reclaimed parts can perform under extreme conditions.

Seeing recycled components used successfully in

competitive racing challenges outdated assumptions and

elevates their credibility.

Together, these initiatives showcase reclaimed parts

in familiar, relatable settings. Whether it’s a weekend

mechanic finding a part in the yard or a race team using

recycled components, Silverlake is helping normalise and

champion reuse across automotive culture.

QHow does Silverlake’s continued investment in

people, facilities, and innovation help strengthen

the overall e2e network and its offer to insurers?

ASilverlake’s ongoing investment in training,

facilities, and innovation helps elevate the e2e

network’s collective offer to insurers, setting

industry-leading standards for sustainability and

efficiency.

Workforce training is a priority, particularly in EV

dismantling, quality assurance, and sustainability

reporting. This creates a skilled talent pool whose

expertise benefits the wider network.

State-of-the-art dismantling, depollution, and

warehousing facilities support responsible operations and

act as infrastructure benchmarks across e2e.

Silverlake’s scale and stock depth enhance the availability

of quality-assured green parts, ensuring reliable

supply chains that support insurer repair models and

environmental goals.

By investing in R&D, from EV processing protocols to

digital inventory and circular economy systems, Silverlake

helps develop and share innovative solutions that benefit

the entire e2e network.

Visible leadership, such as motorsport sponsorships and

public sustainability reporting, reinforces e2e’s brand as

a progressive, ESG-aligned partner. Silverlake’s growth

strengthens the entire network and ensures insurers

receive forward-thinking, compliant, and sustainable

services.

Consumer

Duty

Rules OK!

At e2e, we have never

regarded FCA regulations

as an obligation with all the

negative connotations that this

might imply. Instead, we see

the Consumer Duty themes

and outcomes as a tremendous

opportunity to deliver real value

to customers, and for us as

suppliers to help our insurer and

claims manager clients fulfil their

compliance needs.

Our new Customer Connect programme uses technology,

communications and transparent behaviours to ensure that

our FCA-regulated clients, and their policyholders, can be

at the leading edge of Consumer Duty provision. By always

acting in good faith, delivering good value and helping to

meet consumer needs, we can support the four key outcomes

expected by the FCA.

What Are We Doing? Customer Connect

Our recently launched Customer Connect programme is a

series of co-ordinated elements that, taken together, provide

new standards of process and behaviours. Combining existing

practices with new technologies raises the bar of service

delivery and customer understanding. Examples of our work

include:

Protecting Policyholders

Supplemented by the application of AI-driven analysis, we use

standard-format imagery throughout the claims management

process to protect the interests of policyholders and clients

alike. This analysis forms part of our background reporting

tool and is always available on request.

Vulnerable Customers

Adopting the FCA definition of a Vulnerable Customer and

acting accordingly is standard practice within e2e and our

members. We regard our obligations in this area as a major

opportunity to contribute towards the Consumer Duty

outcomes, and we will always go the extra mile to ensure

that Vulnerable Customers receive the care and support they

need.

Open Communications

From the very first text acknowledging a claim to our online

chat facility, we ensure that customers are always connected

to the claims process and their role within it. Our job is to

make sure that policyholders always know what is happening,

can communicate easily and swiftly, and can access the

people they need, when they need them.

These are just a few of the elements of our Customer Connect

programme and represent our commitment to supporting

our clients in meeting their FCA compliance requirements. By

working closely with them, we can build new modules and

processes as required, ensuring that policyholder needs are

central to the claims management services we deliver.

Claire Greenall,

Client Service Manager,

e2e Total Loss Claims Management

Fair Valuation

Where we are involved in the pre-accident valuation of

vehicles, we use up to five live databases and search

techniques to ensure that customers always receive the very

latest information on vehicle pricing.

Transparent Negotiations

For both clients and their policyholders, we can provide a

standard-format report which details our approach and the

background information used when negotiating settlement

values with customers.

e2e Supplement 15


MEMBERS

QWhat environmental benefits has being part of the

e2e network brought to Ted4Parts that would be

more challenging to achieve independently?

ABeing part of the e2e network gives us access to

shared expertise, national scale, and centralised

sustainability initiatives that would be difficult to

replicate on our own. From optimised logistics to shared best

practices in de-pollution and parts reclamation, the network

helps us reduce waste, improve recycling rates, and deliver

more circular outcomes. Collaborating on industry-leading

standards ensures we stay ahead of evolving environmental

expectations.

QHow is Ted4Parts contributing to e2e’s leadership in

sustainable end-of-life vehicle processing across the

UK and Ireland?

ATed4Parts is proud to be leading by example in

Ireland, launching the country’s first circular parts

model in partnership with An Garda Síochána. We

are also running a pilot scheme with Allianz Insurance to

integrate reclaimed parts into approved repair processes,

helping to prove the environmental and commercial value of

green parts at scale. Alongside these initiatives, we continue

to invest in compliant dismantling operations and share data

and feedback to support e2e’s innovation and leadership in

sustainable ELV processing.

Q Reclaimed parts offer clear environmental and cost

advantages. How does Ted4Parts actively support

this shared goal in your day-to-day operations?

AEvery vehicle we process is carefully assessed to

maximise the recovery of high-quality, safe, and

reliable parts. These are catalogued and VRAC

quality-checked to meet both industry and customer

standards. We actively promote the use of reclaimed parts

by working closely with insurers and repairers to provide fast,

traceable supply at a lower cost than new. Importantly, we

provide carbon saving data for every part supplied, giving

each customer a clear and measurable environmental benefit

with every order.

QAs the number of electric and hybrid vehicles

reaching end-of-life grows, how is the e2e network

helping Ted4Parts prepare for this shift?

AWe benefit from centralised knowledge sharing and

updates on evolving legislation and best practices

around EV dismantling. This collective approach

accelerates our readiness and reduces the risk of compliance

gaps.

QHow does collaboration within the e2e network

support Ted4Parts in meeting regulatory targets for

recycling and reducing carbon emissions?

AWorking within the e2e network gives us access to

consistent, high-quality environmental reporting tools

and benchmarks. These help us monitor performance,

identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate compliance

more easily. The shared commitment across the network also

drives innovation in material recovery and carbon reduction

strategies, giving us a much stronger platform than we

would have alone.

QIn your view, how does the collective expertise and

scale of e2e help insurance partners deliver on their

sustainability promises?

AInsurers are under pressure to prove measurable

sustainability progress. The e2e network provides

QAs a long-established, family-run business, what

environmental advantages has being part of the e2e

network brought to SCB that might be harder to

achieve alone?

ABeing part of the e2e network has enabled SCB to

significantly scale up its environmental efforts in

ways that would be difficult to achieve independently.

Access to shared best practices, aligned sustainability goals,

and centralised data insights has strengthened SCB’s ability

to invest in greener technologies and more efficient recycling

methods. The network has also amplified SCB’s voice on

regulatory and industry platforms, helping to accelerate

collective progress on environmental goals.

SCB began over 60 years ago as a one-man operation called

Sports Car Breakers, dismantling sports cars in my mother’s

back garden. Since then, it has evolved to handle all types

of vehicles and salvage, and now operates across three sites

covering more than 40 acres. We employ over 100 staff—and

we’re not finished yet!

QHow is SCB helping to drive e2e’s leadership in

sustainable total loss vehicle management across

the UK?

A

SCB plays a key role by applying decades of

operational expertise to pilot innovative vehicle

dismantling and parts recovery methods. We actively

contribute data and insights to e2e’s sustainability roadmap

and regularly collaborate on trials for new recycling and

reuse technologies. Our commitment to high environmental

standards and operational efficiency reinforces the network’s

credibility and leadership across the industry.

QReclaimed parts are central to reducing waste

and cost. How does SCB support e2e’s mission to

promote their use in practical, everyday ways?

A

SCB supports this mission by ensuring all reclaimed

parts are quality-assured, traceable, and made quickly

available to repairers through e2e’s PartsMarket. Our

sales teams work closely with insurers and body shops to

promote the cost and environmental benefits of reclaimed

parts, making them a routine and viable option in day-to-day

vehicle repairs.

QWith the rise in electric and hybrid vehicles

reaching end-of-life, how is the e2e network helping

SCB prepare for this growing trend?

AThe e2e network actively champions the need for

training and upskilling in the safe dismantling and

storage of electric and hybrid vehicle components.

This proactive approach helps members like SCB stay ahead

of industry developments, especially in relation to highvoltage

battery safety. With e2e’s support, we are investing

in the right infrastructure and certifications to manage endof-life

EVs responsibly.

QHow important is collaboration within the e2e

network in supporting SCB to meet recycling

regulations and lower carbon emissions?

ACollaboration is essential. Through shared compliance

tools, sustainability benchmarks, and environmental

audits, SCB is able to stay ahead of changing

regulations without duplicating effort. The e2e network’s

collective innovation and policy engagement also provide

early access to environmentally sound practices, enabling us

to remain compliant while reducing our carbon footprint.

QFrom SCB’s perspective, how does the collective

strength of e2e help insurers meet their

environmental and sustainability goals?

AWith the combined volume of reclaimed parts from

all e2e members among the highest in the UK, the

network offers insurers a genuine one-stop solution

for sustainable vehicle management. Through SCB and

other trusted partners, insurers benefit from automated

parts matching and streamlined access to quality-assured

reclaimed components. This scale and efficiency allow them

to meet their environmental and sustainability goals with

confidence and consistency.

Why e2e’s Network

Model Delivers More

for Insurers

Rob Smale,

Non-Executive Chair,

e2e Total Loss Claims Management

In a sector where consistency, risk

mitigation and flexibility are critical, e2e’s

network of independent salvage and

recycling specialists offers a compelling

alternative to the single-supplier model.

Non-Executive Chair, Rob Smale, explains

why strength in diversity is driving

innovation, quality and sustainability

across the UK vehicle recycling industry.

20 e2e Supplement


Q

What makes e2e’s collective network model stronger

than a single-provider approach in the salvage and

vehicle recycling sector?

The business of insurance is fundamentally about

managing and diversifying risk, and the same principle

Aunderpins the strength of the e2e network. Our model

draws on the individual capital, systems, local knowledge and

reputations of each independent member. These businesses

are deeply rooted in their regions, each bringing a flexible,

responsive approach and resilience to disruption. None of our

members are wholly dependent on e2e, which allows them to

scale operations and adapt swiftly to changing demands.

From my experience within the network, I’ve seen firsthand

how the combined expertise of our members forms

something far greater than the sum of its parts. We offer full

UK coverage through regionally grounded professionals with

decades of experience in vehicle recycling. This structure

not only enables adaptability but also avoids the pitfalls of

centralised groupthink, giving insurers the benefit of both

consistency and independent thinking.

Q

Some may assume a national service needs to

come from one large organisation—how does e2e’s

structure challenge that idea?

Using a UK-wide solution made up of a network of

independent companies is not a new concept, it’s well

Aestablished across vehicle and property claims. Like

other trusted networks, e2e guarantees consistent outcomes

by uniting members under a shared framework of policies

and service standards. The difference is that our network

creates synergies through the integration of independent

thought, local knowledge, and decades of accumulated

experience.

A single entity must also manage multiple sites and ensure

uniformity, but it naturally offers less diversity in risk, insight,

and innovation. In contrast, e2e can draw on multiple sources

of financial, human and intellectual capital, and scale up far

more rapidly to meet changes in demand. Insurers manage

risk. Networks mitigate it. It’s a win-win.

Q

How does having a network of independent, audited

members benefit insurers in terms of consistency,

flexibility, and local expertise?

Alongside risk diversification, insurers gain the

advantage of fostering healthy market competition

Aby working with a network. This competition drives

pricing efficiencies, encourages innovation, and prevents

over-reliance on a small number of national players.

Consistency is essential to policyholders, regardless of their

location. Like a single supplier, e2e ensures service standards

are upheld across multiple sites. But unlike a single supplier,

we don’t “mark our own homework”, our central network

management holds members accountable, with referrals

contingent on today’s performance. This ensures high service

standards are continuously met.

What’s more, our members’ local reputations and deep

understanding of regional needs—especially those of

vulnerable customers, enable tailored, empathetic service.

When I was Claims Director at Ageas, we built a similar

model with local repairers, empowering them to innovate

around fixed outcomes rather than follow rigid central

policies. That approach won awards, and I firmly believe only

a flexible, regionally rooted network can match the breadth

of real-world customer needs and scenarios.

Q

A

What steps does e2e take to ensure service

standards stay high across such a diverse group of

members?

Like any supplier to the insurance industry, e2e must

demonstrate that service and quality standards

are reliably met. We achieve this through rigorous

auditing, data analysis, and a comprehensive set of shared

policies that define what’s expected of members.

But we don’t impose a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, we celebrate and preserve the diversity of our

members, allowing them to operate in ways that suit

their local markets, often the very reasons behind their

individual success. Our focus is always on outcomes. If the

end customer receives consistently high-quality service,

then how our members get there, so long as it’s within

compliance and ethical frameworks, can remain flexible. If

needed, we can adapt the network, revise collection areas,

or onboard new members to maintain performance. That’s a

level of agility most single operators can’t offer.

Can you share an example of how e2e’s network

has responded quickly and effectively to a client’s

Qchallenge—in a way a single operator might struggle

to match?

As a Non-Executive Director, I’m not privy to

operational case details for reasons of board

Agovernance. However, the design of our network

model inherently supports rapid, responsive service to

client challenges, precisely because of the decentralised but

coordinated nature of our membership.

Q

As Chair, what do you see as the biggest opportunity

ahead for e2e—and how does the network model

position you to take advantage of it?

One of the most exciting opportunities for e2e and

our members is the provision of quality, provenanced

Arecycled parts to insurers and fleet repairers. This is a

major step forward, not just in environmental sustainability,

but in claims cost reduction, supply chain resilience, and

customer flexibility.

To make this scalable, e2e has worked closely with a system

developer to create Parts Market, a real-time portal that

integrates directly with vehicle estimating systems. This

innovation allows repairers to instantly view available

recycled parts from our members’ inventories as they build

the repair estimate. It’s the first system of its kind in the UK.

While e2e developed the digital infrastructure, our

members simultaneously invested in physical infrastructure:

warehousing, depollution facilities, logistics, and trained staff

to deliver rapid turnaround. We’ve effectively created reverse

production lines, written-off vehicles are washed, assessed,

dismantled, and parts are cleaned, boxed and ready for

overnight delivery.

Through this innovation, we’ve not only reinforced our role

in recycling over 97% of vehicle content, but we’re also

advancing the circular economy by making reuse a viable

mainstream solution. It’s this broader societal contribution,

creating an environmentally and economically sustainable

model for vehicle recycling, that continues to inspire me in

my role at e2e.

e2e Supplement 21


It’s All in

Case Studies

Emergency Roadside:

Collection and Cost Savings

Roadside collection of damaged vehicles is fairly

standard. However, when e2e established our new

Emergency Response Protocols, we were able

to significantly improve the service we offer and

deliver a faster, more efficient response. Instant

appraisals of damaged vehicles can be carried out

using imagery supplied either by the customer or

a storage garage, and cycle times are significantly

reduced.

One of our clients has benefitted enormously from

this approach, reducing average days in storage

from 51 to just 3. The average storage charge has

also declined from £1,500 to nil – an incredible cost

saving and a dramatic reduction in overall cycle

time.

Arena Fire: Recovery and

Logistics

The power of collaboration within our network was

clearly demonstrated during the Liverpool Echo

Arena car park fire. By coming together to provide

significant additional resources at a time of urgent

need, we were able to move in and collect damaged

vehicles as soon as it was deemed safe to do so.

Policyholders were kept informed of progress, and

insurers were able to move quickly to settle cases. A

win-win in a situation that could easily have resulted

in delays, frustration, and stress for policyholders –

all of which we helped to alleviate.

In an industry where time and efficiency are

paramount, the introduction of innovative strategies

can make a profound difference. e2e’s approach

to vehicle recovery and storage has revolutionised

the process, offering immediate solutions that not

only address logistical challenges but also bring

substantial cost savings.

Raging Floods: Business

Interruption

Pontypridd in Wales has experienced its share of

bad weather over the years, none more so than

when the Evans Halshaw forecourt was flooded,

causing major damage to 242 vehicles. The familiar

new car smell and cleanliness were replaced by

a sodden mess of vehicles that had to be moved,

stored, assessed, and dealt with as quickly as

possible.

One of our Members provided a dedicated recovery

and triage service, resulting in all the vehicles being

recovered and processed within just a few days.

This allowed Evans Halshaw to proceed with the

clean-up process. A quick turnaround for them and

their insurer meant a swift return to ‘business as

usual’ for this prestigious outlet.

TECHNOLOGY

AS A

CATALYST

AT E2E

24 e2e Supplement


In a sector often viewed through the rear-view mirror

of perception, the time has come to look sharply

ahead. For all the talk of transformation across the

claims and salvage world, the reality is that the

technological revolution is not a future ambition, it is a

present requirement. At e2e, we are not waiting for the

future to arrive. We are building it.

There is no doubt that we are living through a period

of remarkable disruption. Artificial Intelligence,

automation, and data science are already beginning to

reshape the salvage and total loss value chain. Yet, it

is not the technology itself that holds the promise, it

is how we use it. And more importantly, how we align

it to the values of service, sustainability, and strategic

insight that our clients deserve.

Data Before Damage

The rising connectivity of vehicles, through IoT sensors

and real-time vehicle telematics has opened the door

to claim prediction long before a First Notification of

Loss. In the coming years, we will work with insurers

to not only anticipate incidents through alternative

sources such as weather and satellite data, but to use

historic salvage and damage trends to support preemptive

decision-making.

This is about intelligent triage, deploying dataled

workflows, flagging total loss candidates, and

removing unnecessary manual intervention. It’s the

first step in a larger journey to shift from reactive

to predictive claims handling. In short, it’s the

digitalisation of instinct.

Making Complexity Simple

Efficiency isn’t achieved through cutting corners; it’s

delivered through better systems. That’s where the

power of Generative AI (GenAI) and hyper-automation

will truly come into play. Whether summarising claims

conversations or auto-populating documentation, we

will continue to explore intelligent integrations that

reduce friction across the claims process.

Equally, we see the opportunity for claims

personalisation. Auto-adaptive platforms that tailor

content and services based on real-time policyholder

data will become the norm. This is not about

gimmickry; it is about providing meaningful and

consistent, human-centred experiences using nonhuman

tools, across the end-to-end supply chain.

Digital Threats Require Digital Defences

But where there is progress, there is also risk.

Disinformation and synthetic media are no longer

fringe concerns. As AI-generated fraud becomes more

sophisticated, the responsibility falls to suppliers like

e2e to maintain the integrity of the ecosystem.

in real time. Our systems are designed to verify, not

assume. Zero-trust architecture, biometric security,

and real-time observability are no longer future

enhancements, they are baseline expectations.

The AI-Driven Enterprise

The longer-term horizon is no less ambitious. In the

not-so-distant future, AI agents will autonomously

handle decision-making, strategy, and full business

workflows. GenAI will be used to build bespoke

solutions tailored to regulatory and operational

needs. Robotic Process Automation will evolve into

autonomous operations. Serverless API infrastructures

will allow seamless, real-time integration across the

supply chain.

It won’t stop there.

Quantum computing will add new layers of security

and simulation. Blockchain-based contracts will reduce

supply chain friction. Augmented Reality will bring

engineering assessments into the field. And smart,

collaborative robots will start to become more visible in

customer service and logistics.

In all of this, e2e’s role is clear: to lead, not follow.

A Sector Ready for the Future

Our industry will continue to evolve. Consumer Duty

will shift expectations. Consolidation may continue. But

innovation will remain the great leveller.

The days of treating salvage as a functional endpoint

are over. It is now a strategic enabler—capable

of delivering better financial outcomes, faster claims

closure, and measurable environmental benefits.

At e2e, we see ourselves not simply as suppliers or

processors, but as proactive enablers of value. Through

bold technology investment, responsible innovation,

and relentless collaboration, we will continue to disrupt

and redefine what excellence looks like.

Because when you plan for the future, you don’t fear it.

You lead it.

ESG Sustain

360 Programme

At e2e, sustainability is not a sideline, it's central to how we operate.

Our Sustain 360 programme is a living, measurable commitment to

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibility across

our nationwide network. Guided by science-based targets and

independently assessed standards, we’re working collaboratively

towards a greener, fairer future.

Our commitment to the fundamental principles

of good Environmental, Social and Governance

(ESG) conduct throughout the e2e network is

an immovable pillar of our corporate culture.

This commitment drives many of our operational

processes and targets, as well as our decision

to use external and independent measurement

of outputs. This latter element ensures we are

making rapid progress towards our goals while

maintaining the highest standards of objective

and expert assessment of our efforts.

We have also committed to working within a

science-based targeting regime that strengthens

our drive to achieve meaningful progress on our

journey to Net Zero by 2050. The SBTi (Science

Based Targets initiative) framework that we

are adopting further cements our ambition to

be among the leading exponents of carbon

emissions reduction within our sector.

Titled Sustain 360, the programme we have

adopted is not merely a policy statement or a

token set of principles to be sidelined when dayto-day

business pressures arise. It is a real, multifaceted

initiative that actively guides our working

practices—now and into the future.

Our clients are rightly demanding greater

awareness of the impact we have on the planet

and our local communities. We wholeheartedly

endorse a robust and consistent approach to

these issues, one that delivers lasting, positive

impacts for the environment, our staff, and

our suppliers. Sustain 360 is already central

to our business strategy and will only grow in

importance as we collectively face the challenges

of climate change, the rising expectations of

corporate social responsibility, and the need for

greater transparency in daily operations.

The Sustain 360 programme is supported

through business-as-usual resources across our

network of members, with strategic oversight

provided by our dedicated internal team. To

further enhance our capabilities, we have

invested in access to expert external consultants.

This ensures our sustainability activities are

Doing the Right

Thing: Why Social

and Governance

Matter More Than

Ever in the Claims

Management Space

In a sector built on trust and responsibility, ESG isn’t just a reporting

obligation — it’s a reflection of how we lead, serve, and stay

accountable. At e2e, we believe social and governance principles must

be embedded in the everyday, not just the annual report.


In insurance, the phrase “doing the right thing” is

often used to describe how we support customers

through difficult moments. But in today’s world,

“the right thing” goes beyond paying claims fairly or

offering suitable cover. It means embedding fairness,

transparency, and accountability throughout the

business — not just to protect people, but the planet

too.

This is the view that e2e takes when designing and

implementing our Sustain 360 ESG programme. That’s

where the ‘S’ and ‘G’ in ESG, Social and Governance,

truly come into play. These aren’t just boxes to tick in a

sustainability report. They represent everyday business

decisions that shape real outcomes, for our customers,

consumers, colleagues, and communities.

It’s a Matter of Duty

Since the introduction of the FCA’s Consumer Duty,

there has been a welcome shift in tone across financial

services. The Duty requires us to avoid causing

“foreseeable harm” and to deliver good outcomes

for customers. Many of the risks involved are, in fact,

failures of social or governance principles.

Take claims handling as an example. If our systems

were to consistently underpay certain groups, or if our

business practices were too complex for vulnerable

customers to navigate, that would not just be poor

service, it would be a governance failure with social

consequences. Fortunately, our systems thinking

approach to the business helps us avoid these traps

by looking holistically at how our decisions impact

outcomes.

Principled Leadership in a Polarised World

Across the Atlantic, ESG has become a political

minefield. Several US states are actively pushing

back against ESG investment and regulation, with

federal responses only adding to the complexity.

Unsurprisingly, this turbulence is being felt in global

markets and is posing a real test of values for

businesses worldwide.

At e2e, the question is clear: do we follow suit, or do

we hold the line? Both nationally and locally, e2e and

our members are committed to our responsibilities in

the years ahead.

We believe UK insurers now have a fresh opportunity,

and arguably a responsibility, to lead by example.

With influence that spans industries, supply chains

and millions of lives, insurers can help shape standards

that protect both people and planet, even when it’s

not politically popular. e2e is already supporting these

efforts and will continue to be at the forefront of

driving positive change.

Governance with integrity and socially conscious

decision-making aren’t just ethical, in a risk-based

business, they’re commercially smart. Especially when

others step back, leadership matters more.

Measure What Matters

Good governance isn’t about imposing more rules, it’s

about clarity and accountability. The most progressive

organisations are measuring the downstream impacts

of their decisions, not just the inputs. That means

asking:

What happens to the customer experience when we

change this policy?

Who benefits — and who might lose out?

What are the unintended consequences?

Just as we track loss ratios or claim repudiation

rates, at e2e we’re starting to track harm — and to

learn from it. That includes harm we never intended

to cause. Does a digital-only claims process exclude

elderly policyholders? Does a cost-saving measure

increase the carbon footprint of a repair? These are

not only operational issues; they are governance

challenges too.

The Bottom Line

At its core, ESG is about how we run our businesses.

Social and governance decisions influence trust,

loyalty, risk exposure, and brand reputation. They

determine whether we are seen as part of the solution,

or part of the problem.

Doing the right thing, consistently and transparently, is

good business. But it takes more than slogans. It takes

leadership, evidence, and a culture of accountability.

As ESG comes under pressure globally, the UK salvage

sector, and e2e, has an opportunity to lead, not just

comply. That leadership starts with the choices we

make every day.

From Blind Spots to Better Practice

Social and governance risks rarely stem from bad

intent. More often, they arise from blind spots in

everyday decision-making, who we hire, how we

train, how we measure success, and what we choose

to reward. Addressing them often starts with small,

pragmatic steps.

Final

Thoughts

Innovation isn’t a buzzword at e2e — it’s the

foundation of how we think, solve problems, and

serve. For 40 years, we’ve built a business that thrives

on curiosity, client focus, and a refusal to settle for

“business as usual.”

We began this supplement by suggesting that e2e

has taken a serious lead in the race to be innovative,

dynamic, and, by implication, bold enough to think the

unthinkable when developing service solutions and

products within our sector.

Naturally, the Member/Owners of e2e will continue to

deliver outstanding service to policyholders, resolve

complex technical issues, and support clients in

meeting regulatory requirements.

But the beating heart of e2e isn’t process, technology,

environmental goals, or financial returns.

At its core, our success lies in presenting bespoke,

adaptable, and genuinely interesting solutions to our

clients. We believe that when we continue to deliver

this kind of tailored value, we earn long-term trust

and support. In short, “business as usual” has no place

at e2e. Instead, our mindset is rooted in innovation,

passion, and the unwavering belief that there is always

a better way.

This approach has underpinned everything we’ve done

for the past 40 years, and it will continue to define our

future.

The unique strengths of our Member/Owners, and

their relentless drive to improve their own local

businesses, give e2e a platform of real substance.

Their combined expertise represents a depth and

breadth of knowledge that cannot be matched

elsewhere in the sector. The leading lights of the

salvage industry are proud to be part of e2e, and

we are equally proud to continue that tradition —

now supercharged by cutting-edge technology and

forward-thinking solutions.

In the fast-moving, ever-evolving world of insurance,

repair, and total loss, e2e offers a service that’s not

only real and relevant, but truly designed around you,

for you, and your customers.

Delivering Excellence. Differently.
