International claims management firm Crawford & Company has tied up with Godfrey & Company as a network partner in New Zealand.
According to a statement by Crawford, it will be represented in New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands by Godfrey & Company.
“The decision to form a relationship with Godfrey and Company was a logical step in our business growth strategy and builds upon the geographical footprint of Crawford’s 43 offices in Australia,” said Tim Jarman (pictured), Crawford’s Australia president. “Our global footprint and empowered teams give us the reach and agility to meet the changing needs of the industry. This new arrangement will optimize our presence in key locations, facilitate further growth and help us restore and enhance lives, businesses and communities in both Australia and New Zealand.”
The partnership, Crawford said, will strengthen its service capabilities in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region and improve business relationships with clients in Australia, New Zealand and globally.
“The ability to expand and enhance our respective local operations, while capitalizing on Crawford's global strength, will send a very positive signal to our international and local clients,” added John Beckett, CEO of Godfrey and Company.
