Sedgwick hires head of environmental adjusting in the UK

Sedgwick has appointed Jonathan Mockridge as head of its UK environmental adjusting practice.

Mockridge joins Sedgwick from a UK specialist loss adjusting and claims handling company, bringing more than 25 years of insurance industry experience to the organisation.

He has spent 13 years specialising in environmental losses associated with commercial, agricultural and domestic pollution incidents and involving a variety of contaminants.

In his new role at Sedgwick, Mockridge will be responsible for overseeing the environmental adjusting team and ensuring the delivery of a first-class service.

Sedgwick said he will draw on his previous experience working alongside environmental statutory regulators, while benefitting from subsidiary EFI Global’s specialist environmental consulting services, to provide cost-effective remedial strategies for addressing the challenges of site-specific pollution events.

Mockridge will also provide supportive guidance to help Sedgwick clients work with statutory regulators.

Paul White, UK chief executive officer at Sedgwick, commented: “We’re pleased to welcome Jonathan to Sedgwick and the expertise he will bring to the environmental adjusting arm of our business.”

“Our developing specialty practice, coupled with Jonathan’s background and experience, will be a perfect fit for this crucial area of growth for us.”

EFI Global’s head of environmental consultancy, Andrew Kyle, said: “It’s great to have an adjuster of Jon’s experience in the Sedgwick team and between us, we can deliver the best service to clients and customers in this specialist field.”

On his appointment, Mockridge said: “I’m really pleased to join Sedgwick and to lead such an experienced team of environmental specialist adjusters.

“I’m eager to work across Sedgwick’s network to expand on our delivery of first-class claims services for environmental losses.”
