In April 2014 one of the country’s leading loss adjusting and associated services companies, Crawford & Company South Africa took the local insurance industry by the horns and shook it up when Chedza International Holdings (Pty) Limited (Chedza) became the majority shareholder in the company in an empowerment deal said to be worth about R25 million.
Norman Hornby, Chief Executive Officer of Crawford & Company South Africa, and Mpho Mahanyele, Chedza CEO and Crawford and Company Group Executive Director, reflect on the transaction that has made Crawford & Company South Africa the first fully black-owned loss adjusting, and risk management and associated services, company in the country.
The Company prides itself on being a one-stop shop and offering a range of services, not just loss adjusting.
These include services and resources in business interruption, investigations, reporting, assessments and business processes and consulting. Through its claims management system and global reach it services the mining and power and energy, transportation and marine, engineering, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sectors through the country and Africa.
