ATLANTA, April 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Crawford & Company®, the world's
largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management
solutions to insurance companies and self-insured entities, today
announced the appointment of Kieran Rigby as president of
international, encompassing the United Kingdom, Europe,
Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions.
Rigby was previously CEO of GAB Robins UK until
Crawford acquired the company in 2014. Since then, Rigby served as
CEO Crawford Europe and Latin America. In his new role, he
assumes additional responsibility for the Asia-Pacific and United
Kingdom regions, and he will serve as a member of Crawford's Global

"I'm confident Kieran is the right person for this
role," said Harsha V. Agadi, president and chief executive officer.
"His character promotes both innovation and inspiration, and with
his proven track record of leadership and success, I believe he'll
continue to grow our company and build for the future. I look
forward to the new ideas and fresh focus he'll bring to Crawford's
leadership team."
Rigby, who will be based in London, will report
directly to Andrew Robinson, global chief operating officer, and
will be responsible for growing the business, continuing to
strengthen Crawford's global capabilities and realigning the
company's operating model for further efficiency and profitability
across the company's international businesses.
"Crawford's global presence, strength and breadth
of capabilities is unmatched by others in the marketplace,"
Robinson said. "We are excited to have Kieran lead, grow and
further develop our operations, as well as pursue new and
innovative ways to serve our clients. I look forward to
working with Kieran as we realize these ambitions."
Rigby's appointment follows the resignation of Ian
V. Muress, CEO international, after 16 years of dedicated and loyal
service to the company.
"We would like to thank Ian for the contribution
he has made to the business and for his commitment to our clients,"
said Agadi. "We wish him well as he moves to the next stage
of his career."
"It is a great honor to be given this
opportunity," said Rigby. "This is an exciting time for Crawford
& Company. It is also a time to critically examine all parts of
our operations to grow our revenue and presence in the marketplace
- a marketplace that is rapidly changing and requiring our constant
innovation."
Throughout his career, Rigby has served in senior
leadership positions in claims and loss adjusting, and he's also
active in the industry, holding excellent professional
qualifications, including Fellow of the Chartered Insurance
Institute, Chartered Insurance Practitioner, Fellow of Chartered
