Crawford & Co welcomes new network partner in New Zealand

Crawford & Company, the independent provider of claims management and outsourcing, has signed up a new network partner in New Zealand as it seeks to increase its presence in the region.

Godfrey and Company will represent Crawford in New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands, to expand on the 43 offices Crawford already has in Australia, serving clients in the region. Tim Jarman, Crawford’s president in Australia, said the partnership was a logical step for the company as it looks to increase its footprint.

"Our global footprint and empowered teams give us the reach and agility to meet the changing needs of the industry,” he said. “This new arrangement will optimise our presence in key locations, facilitate further growth and help us restore and enhance lives, businesses and communities in both Australia and New Zealand.”

Jarman called Godfrey and Company “one of New Zealand’s premier loss adjusting and claims management companies,” highlighting its commitment to technical expertise, quality, service excellence and innovation.

John Beckett, chief executive officer at Godfrey and Company, said: “The ability to expand and enhance our respective local operations while capitalising on Crawford's global strength, will send a very positive signal to our international and local clients.”
