Crawford & Company has promoted Matt Donnelly to head of specialty loss adjusting, effective from November.

He replaces Craig McLeod, who is moving to a newly created role as head of quality and people development.

Mr Donnelly spent 12 years at Crawford until 2016, then returned last October. He has been national head of global technical services since May.

Crawford says he will lead the specialty loss adjusting portfolio including commercial and liability-related claims, construction, energy and marine, and forensic accounting services.

“I am looking forward to welcoming Matt to the executive leadership table as we continue taking our specialty loss adjusting business from strength to strength,” Crawford Australia president Jonathan Hubbard said. "Matt will be superb in this role.” 

Crawford also recently appointed Simon Chenery as executive adjuster in Brisbane and Rizwan Malikas as senior marine surveyor/loss adjuster in Melbourne.
