Claims specialist LMI Group has opened an office in Canberra and appointed Georg Froeschl as National Claims Executive and ACT Manager.

Mr Froeschl has 19 years’ experience in loss adjusting, including 11 years with Cerno managing claims across industry sectors such as major loss, domestic and commercial.

At LMI he will deliver claims preparation and advocacy services to clients in NSW and the ACT.

“While Georg has a lifetime of claims experience, like all at LMI, he will have the back-up of the entire team, including forensic accountants, LMI Legal and risk management experts,” founder and MD Allan Manning said.

The Canberra opening follows the launch of a Hobart branch last month and takes the national number of offices to 10.
