Sedgwick makes two leadership appointments to drive growth in UK

Sedgwick has appointed two key people to its leadership team to support the ongoing growth of its UK operations.

Adrian Cartwright-Bain has been promoted to lead a new specialist division focused on the company’s forensic accounting services and EFI Global’s environmental forensic investigations.

The global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions said it had appointed Cartwright-Bain because he is a “market-renowned adjusting and accounting practitioner with proven experience as a finance director”, making him “well placed to lead and grow both service areas”.

In his new role, he will work with Paul White, Sedgwick’s CEO for the UK, on expanding services for forensic accountancy and environmental/fire investigations to support client needs and market demands. He will also manage the professional standards and elements of the UK’s risk and compliance activity.

The company confirmed it has also appointed Peter Farrelly to the role of managing director of commercial claims services. He brings a wealth of senior management experience as a “renowned major and complex loss practitioner”, the company said. In this new role, he will focus on the continued expansion of Sedgwick’s services and lead several key initiatives including a talent development programme.

White said: “We will continue to develop Sedgwick’s UK business and strengthen an already exceptional leadership team. Our client offerings are second to none, and we are focused on bringing the best expertise to lead the industry. I am excited for our future growth prospects.”
