Sedgwick names ex-Lloyd’s broker as UK head of real estate

Technology-driven insurance risk solutions provider Sedgwick has appointed Steve Gargano as UK head of real estate.

Gargano has worked in the insurance profession for more than 28 years, beginning his career as a broker in Lloyd’s of London. He joined Sedgwick in 2018 through its acquisition of Cunningham Lindsey, where he has worked since 2009 and most recently served as head of broker business development.

Gargano will lead the development of Sedgwick’s real estate third party administration led (TPA) proposition across the UK. The London trading team, led by Chris Scott, is dedicated to the development of customised solutions within the Lloyd’s and London market.

“Steve’s exceptional experience and relationship with the market, combined with the vast wealth of real estate expertise we have to call upon, means that we are uniquely placed to further develop Sedgwick’s presence in this important sector,” said Scott, head of Sedgwick’s London trading.

Gargano commented: “I am delighted to be heading up the real estate team; I look forward to building upon the incredibly strong business already in place and to further developing it in the coming months.”
