John Higgins started his career with the Shield Insurance Company that later became Zurich. He embarked on the Insurance Exams soon after and completed his ACII after moving to Church and General that later became Allianz. John Worked in Dublin for a period before being asked to start a new Claims Branch in the existing branch in Cork. John was very fortunate to work in the kind of claims that could often be fought successfully even in those dark days when Cork was considered to be “The Claims Capital of Ireland”. This meant wide exposure to some of the best and brightest Lawyers, Engineers and a wide range of professionals. This also meant that John built up a wide range of experience in that period up to 2000 or so. After a brief spell with a loss adjusting company, a number of ex-colleagues suggested that John would be ideally placed to carry out early investigations and advise on strategy.

John started this company in 2003 and has investigated and dealt with a very wide range of claims since. John was privileged to be elected President of the Insurance Institute of Cork in 2003/4.

John has also engaged in teaching with the III for most of his career initially on a purely voluntary basis. John may be out on his own as the person who has taught all six subjects of the CIP. He also developed and authored a number of the III Text books over the years. John was also the Tutor for the Advanced Claims Management Subject in the Higher Diploma in Insurance Management
