Sedgwick has appointed Ian Muress, Stewart Steel and Paul White to the leadership team of its combined business operations in the UK.
The provider of technology-enabled business solutions in the risks and benefits space completed the acquisition of claims management and risk solutions firm Cunningham Lindsey earlier this week.
As a result of the deal, a new UK leadership has been formed including senior members of leadership from Sedgwick, Cunningham Lindsey and Vericlaim.
Muress will remain Sedgwick international CEO, and continue to provide executive oversight for all business operations outside the US and Canada.
Steel, an insurance industry veteran with more than 35 years of experience, will continue support Muress in the management of the UK business and remain as UK CEO.
Since 2009, Steel has been responsible for the leadership and direction of Vericlaim, one of Sedgwick’s subsidiaries.
After serving as Cunningham Lindsey’s COO for nine years, White joins Sedgwick as UK COO.
Muress said the company is pleased to have industry veterans like Steel and White leading UK operations.
He added: “As we expand our global operations with a growing footprint, improved capabilities and broader technical resources, our focus remains clearly on our clients.”
“I look forward to working with them and the rest of the management team to ensure we capitalise on the opportunities in the market and enhance services and value for our customers and industry partners.”
