AN Altrincham company is on the hunt for 100 new recruits.

The Claims Guys Limited (TCG), in Church Street, has seen a recent upturn in claims activities resulting in the firm looking to add to its 500-strong team.

Trading since 2009, TCG has grown steadily to accommodate the success of its end-to-end management of the claims process for customers.

It currently mails out 25,000 claims per week - the majority of which are for payment protection insurance (PPI).

The company's, which said it has helped customers to claim back more than £364million, is now looking to employ 100 more staff over the next three months.

Tim Berry, the chief executive officer of TCG, explained: "Despite ongoing media reports of an imminent downturn in PPI claims we have enjoyed our most successful year to date.

"With both an increase in the volume of people making claims and a number of new projects in the pipeline, we knew it wouldn't be too long before we looked to grow further."

TCG is currently located at Lynnfield House, in Church Street, and the new growth will see the company expanding into neighbouring offices at Hamilton House.
