Sedgwick unveils new UK leadership following Cunningham takeover

Technology-driven risk solutions provider Sedgwick has appointed Ian Muress, Stewart Steel and Paul White to leadership roles for its combined business operations in the UK.

The announcement follows the completion of Sedgwick’s acquisition of management and loss adjusting firm Cunningham Lindsey.

Based in London, as CEO of Sedgwick international, Muress will provide executive oversight for all business operations outside the US and Canada. Prior to joining Sedgwick, Muress served as CEO of international operations for a large global adjusting firm, where, over the course of his extended tenure, he ascended the company’s ranks to global executive leader.

Steel will support Muress in the management of the UK business as CEO, UK. Since 2009, Steel has had responsibility for the leadership and direction of the UK operations of Vericlaim, a Sedgwick company. With more than 35 years of experience in the loss adjusting business, he has served in various industry leadership roles.

Following nine years as chief operating officer of Cunningham Lindsey, White joins Sedgwick as COO, UK. He previously held a number of roles at a London-based insurance services firm, overseeing operations management, strategic planning and the due diligence and implementation planning related to two acquisitions.

“As we expand our global operations with a growing footprint, improved capabilities and broader technical resources, our focus remains clearly on our clients, and we are pleased to have veterans like Stewart and Paul leading our UK operations in delivering outstanding service to clients,” Muress said.

“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.”
