The Cunningham Lindsey brand has ceased to exist in Australia and New Zealand, following the loss adjuster’s acquisition by US-based claims manager Sedgwick.

As previously reported by insuranceNEWS.com.au, the merged company will operate under the Sedgwick name, and last Thursday all references to Cunningham Lindsey were removed from the business.

Australia CEO Diego Ascani says the “high standard of operations” will continue.

“Under the Sedgwick name, our capabilities will be enhanced by greater investment in technology via digital and automation, quality, people and global reach,” he said.

“We will now be able to service our global corporate clients in Australia with the full suite of Sedgwick’s services and product range.”

Former Asia-Pacific CEO Damon Bennett left the company after a new structure was put in place, which saw Mr Ascani appointed Australia CEO and Darryl Cowan appointed New Zealand CEO.
