Hong Kong Office – Corporate Structure



The Hong Kong operation is the longest established office in the Asia Pacific Region, commencing operations in 1968.  Over the years it has gained for itself an excellent reputation in the local and international insurance markets, starting from the adjustment of simple construction and civil engineering related losses to more complex and substantial infrastructure projects in Hong Kong.


It is a fact that our company has been the training ground for many of the Hong Kong’s indigenous loss adjusters and their growth had contributed to the development of the industry in Hong Kong in recent decades.  Our senior executives continue to strive to maintain and further improve the standard of professionalism and integrity.


The Hong Kong office successfully negotiated a Management BuyOut in 1995 and successfully renamed it’s Chinese name to 華証行 (meaning Grand Adjusting) in January 1996.


In order to provide total solution to our clients, the Company established two new associated companies in 1995 -

The Toplis & Harding (Marine) Ltd and Toplis & Harding (Recoveries) Ltd.


In May 2000, we have invited Capt Lee Fook Choon from Integral Marine Consultants, Singapore to join our group as Technical Consultant.


From our staff complement of some 50 in 2002, our pool of adjusters and surveyors are grouped into various departments although we encourage inter departmental integration wherever possible.  In so doing, our adjusters’ experience are considerably focussed and enhanced, thus better placed to accept the increasing challenges and diversities of modern day insurance claims.


Apart from being the nominated loss adjuster and surveyor of the Insurers in Hong Kong, we have been engaged in various aspects of claims backing activities such as recovery actions, salvage auction and fraudulent claims investigation. In the global insurance market, we are the nominated Survey and Settling Agent for many overseas Insurers.
