Cunningham Lindsey will now operate in Hong Kong under the Sedgwick brand, following the latter’s recent acquisition of the loss adjusting giant.
According to a statement from Sedgwick, the change in name follows a period of integration of operations, colleagues, and services in Hong Kong. With integration now complete, Sedgwick’s Hong Kong operations will have a wider client base and a greater ability to support clients’ future needs, including during periods of surge and catastrophes.
“The brand change forms part of our planned expansion of the market leading international businesses,” said Ian V. Muress, CEO of Sedgwick International. “Having completed the acquisition, Sedgwick is now perfectly positioned for growth internationally and we have a tremendous opportunity to offer an end-to-end service solution to our new and existing clients around the world. Our strategic vision is to align our complementary services and further grow the reach to a scale that will shape and define the enhanced expertise and talent we can offer.”
“Under the Sedgwick name, our capabilities will be enhanced by greater investment in technology via digital and automation, quality, people, and global reach,” said Pierreddy Wong, CEO for
Sedgwick in Hong Kong. “We are proud to continue serving as a trusted partner to our clients and look forward to sharing our expanded and improved range of services.”
Following the acquisition, which was completed in April, Sedgwick has 21,000 staff across 65 countries. It claims to be the largest third-party claims administrator (TPA) globally.
