Leading investigations company G4S has entered a strategic partnership with Townsville-based Weston & Associates to provide a more comprehensive service to insurers in North Queensland.

G4S MD Kieran Milne says his company will integrate its resources and expertise with Weston & Associates, which will continue to be owned and managed by Brian and June Weston.

“We want to be able to provide our clients with good service in North Queensland, which because of its size can be a tough area to service,” Mr Milne said.

He says investigations expertise is becoming increasingly important to insurers. “We see ourselves as one more important link in the chain for insurers, alongside such professions as loss adjusting, lawyers and so on.”

G4S is a global investigations and security company operating in 110 countries with 600,000 employees.
