Loss adjuster Technical Assessing (TA) has appointed Karen Leslie in its Brisbane property team as it expands following a management buyout a year ago.

TA also opened an office in Canberra and expanded in NSW in recent weeks.

Ms Leslie has 25 years’ experience in insurance, around half as a loss adjuster. She was most recently a manager at panel insurance builder Advanced Buildings and was formerly claims manager at AustBroker Premier, loss adjuster at Crawford & Company and QBE, and asset compliance manager for the Queensland government.

“An accomplished marketer, Karen is very well connected within the insurance industry,” TA Queensland State Manager Stefan Lakomy said.

TA says it is the largest independent locally-owned national loss adjuster and has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Launceston, Hobart, Perth and is internationally affiliated.
