Sedgwick has launched a power and energy division in the UK.

Under the leadership of David Ward, who has over 30 years of experience in loss adjusting, energy and construction, the division will serve traditional power plant, infrastructure and oil and gas providers as well as handling emerging claims trends in the renewables space, including wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, biofuel and hydrogen power.

“Things are changing rapidly in the power and energy sectors worldwide, and firms increasingly need expertise in a variety of new areas. Leading a new operation that brings together the knowledge and support of the wider Sedgwick offering earmarks us as a serious contender in the power and energy market,” Ward said. “I’m looking forward to working with Sedgwick’s team of experts to help clients navigate this fast-moving environment.”

Paul White (pictured), Sedgwick CEO, UK and international, added: “Given our significant experience handling claims across the power and energy sectors, consolidating our vast expertise into a unified offering was a clear next step. David’s extensive experience made him an ideal choice to lead and scale the team, and his cross-sector knowledge will prove invaluable as we establish ourselves as the partner of choice for power and energy clients of all kinds.”

The launch comes at a time of unprecedented transformation for the power and energy sectors with the US Inflation Reduction Act and similar initiatives in the EU and UK incentivising massive investment in green energy initiatives in the UK and throughout the EU.
