Tim Jarman, the president of Crawford & Company Australia (Crawford Australia), will retire at the end of the year.
Jarman joined Crawford Australia as its chief operating officer (COO) in 2008 and became the president of the company in 2019. He has over 43 years of experience in the insurance industry across Australia and the UK, having started his career as a claims handler in Norwich Union in Brighton, England.
Jarman spent time with a British insurance company specialising in employer and public liability claims before starting his loss adjusting journey in 1986. He then became a qualified loss adjuster in 1994.
Andrew Bart, CEO of international operations at Crawford & Company, thanked Jarman for his years of service in the Australian business.
“Tim has made a significant contribution to Crawford in Australia, and perhaps one of his greatest leadership moments was steering the business through the devastating Australian floods in 2022. I want to thank Tim for his immense contribution to Crawford & Company and wish him every success in his retirement,” he said.
Crawford & Company will look for Jarman's successor inside and outside the company, with an announcement forthcoming.
An executive recruitment search is underway to find a successor, and Jarman will remain at the helm of the company’s Australian operations until the end of December 2023.
“It is imperative that we find the right person to lead the business into the future, and we won't rush into a decision as I know I can rely on the strong leadership team in Australia to continue to restore lives, businesses, and communities,” Bart said.
The retirement follows Crawford Australia's appointment of a renowned industry player to boost its forensic accounting team.
