Sedgwick launches new operations in Mauritius

Technology-driven risk solutions provider  Sedgwick has launched operations in the Mauritian market. It will offer loss adjusting and catastrophe response solutions, as well as for business interruptions, forensic engineering and environmental and fire claims.

Gary Tanner has been appointed branch manager for the new operations in Mauritius.

Tanner has over 16 years of in-market industry experience from his roles as chief operating officer, partner and lead adjuster for an insurance and loss adjusting firm in Mauritius. His experience includes managing claims for business interruption, major losses, property and motor.

The new office will be supported by the Sedgwick team in South Africa, leveraging its longstanding ties and regional expertise in Mauritius. The expansion follows Sedgwick’s growth in recent years, and in line with its ambitions across sub-Saharan Africa.

“We have served clients in Mauritius for a long time, so launching a dedicated domestic operation is a natural next step for us,” said Ken Maclean, CEO for Sedgwick in South Africa. “This expansion increases Sedgwick’s capacity to support the evolving needs of existing and future clients in various parts of South Africa and across the region. Gary has an impressive reputation in the industry, and his experience with and knowledge of the Mauritian market are exceptional.”

Tanner added: “Leading a newly launched operation is incredibly exciting. We have first-hand knowledge of the market’s specific nuances and clients’ needs in Mauritius. Enhancing this expertise with Sedgwick’s global resources will allow us to provide our trademark level of customer service.”
