Cunningham Lindsey acquires major U.S. commercial adjusting firm

Cunningham Lindsey has acquired the U.S. loss adjusting business of GAB Robins North America Inc.
As a result of the acquisition, Cunningham Lindsey’s U.S. operations will expand by more than 380 people and 100 office locations, bringing its total U.S. presence to more than 1,100 full-time employees in 200 office locations.
The combined business will operate under the Cunningham Lindsey brand and will provide services across the full spectrum of industrial, property (both commercial and personal) and casualty claims in the United States and globally, a Cunningham release says.
The new, “substantial” operational scale positions the company to compete for large multi-national accounts and for placement on national and regional insurer panels, it adds.
“This acquisition will significantly enhance Cunningham Lindsey’s operations in the field of commercial and technical claims, broadening our competencies to extend from low severity personal lines claims to large complex specialty claims,” said Philippe Bès, president and CEO of the Cunningham Lindsey Group.
This is the second acquisition of GAB Robins’ operations by Cunningham Lindsey. In 2009, Cunningham Lindsey also acquired GAB Robins’ international business (excluding its U.K. operations) and its U.S. forensic engineering firm EFI Global.
