Motor Claims 2015 - speaker: Ben Fletcher

Using cutting-edge technology, the IFB analyses a consolidated dataset of 130 million insurance records to identify networks of organised fraud that insurers alone could not uncover. Combined with various sources of intelligence obtained through partnerships with law enforcement, government and public sector organisations, the IFB is the industry's central hub in the fight against organised fraud.

Fraud investigations handled by the Bureau - a not for profit organisation - are expected to exceed £100 million for the first time in 2013. Working closely with police, Ben's operations team and fraud analysts have secured over 700 arrests of organised criminals, resulting in nearly 200 years combined prison sentences.

Fletcher also sits on the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department's Steering Group; the ABI's Financial Crime Committee and Chairs the Insurance Fraud Register Steering Board.

Prior to joining the IFB in 2007, Fletcher worked in a variety of counter-fraud roles within the insurance industry, setting up and managing fraud teams.
