The team comprises Andrew Bart, CEO Asia-Pacific; John Jenner, Commercial Director International; Clive Nicholls, CEO UK and Ireland; Stephen Pearsall, Finance Director International; Kieran Rigby, CEO Europe and Latin America; and Pat Van Bakel, CEO Canada.

The G6 – aligned with heads of the international operation’s shared services functions in client management, general counsel, technology, human resources and commercial operations – will report to VP and CEO International Ian Muress.

“As Crawford clients and stakeholders are aware, the company has made considerable efforts in recent months to simplify its global structure and provide an increasingly competitive service to the market,” Mr Muress said.

“The new structure ensures each aspect of our international business is fully represented at executive level, enabling rapid decision‐making and tactical implementation up and down the chain of command.”
