EMCAS was a Financial Claims Management Company based in Torquay, United Kingdom, with offices in Exeter, Paignton and Taunton. Established in 2003, EMCAS was one of the largest Claims Management Companies in the UK, employing over 350 staff, to help consumers claim back money lost from mis-sold financial products including Savings and Investments, Endowment Mortgages, Pensions and Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). In 2013, they were added to the London Stock Exchange Group's list of '1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain'. History Established in Torquay in 2003 as EMC, they started out focusing on helping those who had been mis-sold Endowment Mortgages or lost money through unfair Bank Charges. In 2007 they outgrew their Torquay office and relocated to Paignton. By 2009 they had reclaimed £100 million on behalf of their customers. Following a rebrand in 2011, EMCAS received a private equity investment from Lonsdale Capital Partners, supporting their management team led by CEO Craig Bernhardt and CFO James Scarth. In May 2011, EMCAS opened a call centre in Exeter Business Park, creating more than 30 new jobs for the local area. By November 2012, EMCAS had further expanded and opened an office in Taunton, Somerset. The office is located in East Reach House, the former Taunton and Somerset Hospital. In 2013, EMCAS entered a sponsorship deal with English rugby union club Exeter Chiefs, and the EMCAS logo currently appears on the rear of the club's shirts.
