In 2003, EMCAS was established with the sole purpose of restoring financial justice to the UK; in other words, standing up for people who had been stung by the mis-selling of financial products, and to work on their behalf to claim back what was rightfully theirs. We have grown to one of the UK's largest Claims Management Companies (CMCs), with three offices and having helped over half a million customers claim back GBP515 million. It's something we're extremely proud of, and the difference it makes to our customers is incredible. We're real experts in our field too, even helping to set-up the Professional Financial Claims Association (PFCA) from the start. However, at our core, we remain the same consumer champions who care about doing the right thing for our people - be they our customers or our employees.
