CALGARY – April 14th, 2014 – Greig Boyle, National Vice President of Operations for Granite Claims Solutions, is pleased to announce Jodi Payne as the new Branch Manager for our Calgary branch.

Jodi has more than 15 years of progressive claims and leadership experience in the insurance industry working with both National Insurers and Independent Adjusting firms. She has extensive expertise in the areas of automobile, personal and commercial liability, and municipal liability claims.

 “Jodi will be a real asset for us going forward,” says Boyle. “She has a long history of high quality claims adjusting and great team leadership skills. With Granite’s focus on delivering a best-in-class Quality Product to our clients, Jodi is a perfect fit.”

Jodi will be taking over the role from Dale Smith, the current Branch Manager who will be moving into the role of Manager, Technical Claims Services for Southern Alberta.

This is an ideal situation for us.”
