Article Abstract:
Pycraft and Arnold is a loss adjuster with some 67% of turnover coming from the insurance industry. The company plans to expand to a turnover of some 50 million pounds sterling which will mean acquisitions or hiring individuals with good contacts.

Pycraft has 29 branches throughout the UK. The company forecasts a profit of 1.2 million pounds with an 8.5 million pounds turnover for 1997.
