Crawford Launches Specialty Markets
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Global offering provides highly technical loss adjusting to niche markets
ATLANTA (July 2, 2013) - Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRDA; CRDB), the world's
largest independent provider of claims management solutions, has created a new
global offering to better serve the unique needs of clients requiring highly
technical and specialized claims handling.
Crawford Specialty Markets is comprised of the following specialty services
focused on serving Lloyd's of London and the International Adjusting market:
Energy, Marine, Aviation, Forensic Accounting, and Mining. Its establishment
will bolster the large and complex claim capabilities of Crawford Global
Technical Services® (GTS®), and offers the market a single solution to meet the
claims needs of clients in these niche areas and their insured irrespective of
location.
"Specialty Markets was created for several strategic reasons and most
importantly to better serve the needs of clients who require highly technical
claim handling including, Lloyd's, the London Market and other global entities
around the world," said Crawford President and CEO Jeffrey T. Bowman.
Specialty Markets is managed by Specialty Markets CEO John Jenner in Europe,
Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific (EMEA/AP), and in the Americas by John
Sharoun, CEO Specialty Markets, Americas. Both will work closely with Crawford
Global Markets represented by Clive Nicholls, SVP, Global Markets & Client
Services, EMEA. Specialty Markets will operate within Crawford's existing
geographic structure and leverages the strength of Crawford's expansive global
footprint.
Supported by Crawford's solid operational infrastructure, high-caliber
specialist adjusters are able to deploy quickly anywhere in the world when an
event or incident occurs to ensure the needs of our clients and their insured
are aligned.
Crawford has and will continue to recruit many highly technical and experienced
loss professionals globally to bolster this new offering, and in March, acquired
the majority share of UK-based Lloyd Warwick International (LWI) to boost its
onshore/offshore energy loss adjusting capabilities.
"Crawford intends to aggressively grow its market share in all of the specialty
sectors," noted Bowman. "We are excited about the future opportunities in this
area and are confident Crawford Specialty Markets provides the market and our
clients the unique capabilities of highly qualified and experienced loss
professionals and the confidence of trusting the work to be handled by an
established independent global provider of claims solutions."
