Insurers — Sedgley, Dudley MBC area
Sedgley carries a lot of working traffic — deliveries into Sedgley business units, trade counters off A459, and vehicles parked overnight on light industrial units. Insurance companies, brokers and accident management firms coordinating recovery after a collision. This page sets out how we handle that work here rather than in general. Half the vehicles we lift in Sedgley are within sight of A463. If M5 J2 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Overnight, most work here is on light industrial units rather than main roads.

After a collision, getting the vehicle off the road safely and to the right place is usually one of the first practical steps in the claims process. We work with insurers, brokers and accident management companies across Birmingham and the Black Country to recover damaged vehicles promptly and hand them on to wherever they need to go next.
Why a Sedgley account differs from a citywide one
A generic Birmingham arrangement treats every postcode the same. Yours does not work that way: your drivers use the same few roads out of Sedgley every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Sedgley drivers tend to break down close to home, not on the motorway. Because Sedgley is only 7 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Trade sites we visit most: Sedgley business units and the Bilston Street industrial area. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Dudley MBC area.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J2 then A459

- Photographic condition report on collection and delivery
- Live-carriageway work off M5 J2 done to Highway Code rules
