Wayne Manning joins Sedgwick international division

Claims and risk management firm Sedgwick has appointed Wayne Manning as head of client services for its international division.

Manning, an associate member of the Chartered Insurance Institute, has more than 25 years of experience in insurance, claims and relationship management.

With his career in insurance beginning in the late 1980s as a claims technician, Manning’s instinctive understanding of the industry has culminated in developing, implementing, and managing relationships for multinational corporate client programmes.

Eric Malterre, chief client officer for Sedgwick’s international division, said: “Client services continues to be an integral offering for our international clients, and with Wayne’s experience, expertise and passion for the sector, we will continue to be regarded as a world leader in the industry.”

“We are constantly improving and enhancing our team so that our clients, irrespective of where they may be, receive the award-winning service they expect from Sedgwick. The future for our client services division is looking very bright, and with Wayne’s appointment, clients can look forward to the best possible business solutions in the market.”

Manning added: “I am delighted to join the Sedgwick international team and looking forward to building upon Sedgwick’s success to deliver dynamic and innovative solutions to further benefit our clients.”

Last month, Sedgwick appointed Stephen Kerr and Steve Whetter as managing directors for its UK operations.

Kerr, who most recently served as director of Sedgwick’s home specialty team in the UK, oversees the firm’s home claims services.

Whetter took over as managing director of Sedgwick’s UK third-party administrator services on 1 November.
