QuestGates announces the acquisition of Richard Hartley Partnership (RHP), a specialist claims provider focused on complex losses in the Power and Construction sectors.
Established in 1999 and headquartered in Harrogate, RHP delivers specialist adjusting services for claims across the UK and internationally. The business was founded to bring together highly experienced industry professionals committed to providing the personal, technical, and client-focused service often lacking in the wider market. Built on core principles of direct relationships, sector-specific expertise, clear communication, and consistent delivery, RHP has earned a strong reputation in its field.
Chris Hall, Group Executive Chairman of QuestGates, said: “RHP shares many of QuestGates’ core values and represents an excellent strategic and cultural fit, centred on personal relationships, trust, and confidence. Their specialist expertise, reputation, and focus on the Power and Construction sectors make them a natural complement to our business and align closely with the evolving needs of our clients.”
Glen Donaldson, Chief Commercial Officer of QuestGates, added: “We are delighted to welcome Rick Hartley and the RHP team to QuestGates. RHP has built an outstanding reputation in the market, and their specialist capabilities have long been recognised by us. Their expertise, services, and client base align closely with our own, significantly enhancing the range of claims solutions we can offer.”
Rick Hartley, Executive Chairman of RHP, commented: “Almost 30 years after its formation, RHP remains dedicated to delivering tailored, agile solutions to complex claims through a team of forward-thinking professionals with deep technical expertise. Joining the QuestGates group opens exciting new opportunities for our people and will allow us to further strengthen the services we provide to our clients.”
RHP will continue to operate under its established brand as part of the QuestGates group.
This marks the third acquisition of 2026 for the QuestGates group, following the purchase of Miles Fanning Legal and Howell Wild.
