Industry Firsts

Shergroup is renowned for being innovative and leading the way in the Business Process Outsourcing arena.

In 2004, the company established the National Information Centre for Enforcement, NICEsheriffs as the first register of all High Court judgments. Shergroup sold the system of NICESheriffs to Registry Trust Limited in 2005 as the keeper of judgment of information across the UK (see link to Registry Trust and Trust Online).

The same year, Shercar was launched to allow ownership of debtors’ vehicles to be checked using the DVLA database. It has been now been developed into an online service for court officials and bailiffs and won the Institute of Credit Management’s prestigious Initiative Award in 2008.

With the success of Sherbond, the newest division introduced to Shergroup is Shercurity, which provides post-eviction security to prevent the return of squatters, travellers, eco warriors and protestors to land and property owned by our clients. The company continues to be innovative in other areas, investing extensively in specially written software and exclusive data management tools to enable creditors to establish what their chances are of recouping money owed, using the ‘Sherpa Front Loader’ propensity model.

And one of Chief Executive Claire Sandbrook’s proudest initiatives was the launch in 2007 of Sherbet, the company’s charity which helps families affected by enforcement action.
