Cunningham buys GAB's US business

Cunningham Lindsey has acquired the US loss adjusting business of GAB Robins North America.

Cunningham said the addition of the GAB Robins loss adjusting business significantly expands its operation in the US, particularly in the commercial loss adjusting space.

Cunningham’s US operation will expand by more than 380 people and 100 office locations as a result of the acquisition, bringing its total presence in the United States to more than 1,100 full-time employees in 200 office locations.

The combined business will operate under the Cunningham Lindsey brand identity.

“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 chief executive of the Cunningham Lindsey Group, in a statement.

Jim Girard, chief executive of GAB Robins North America, added: “We are excited to join Cunningham Lindsey, a company that has successfully grown its franchise to become the partner of choice for global players. We are particularly enthusiastic about rejoining many of our former colleagues who moved to Cunningham Lindsey almost two years ago when Cunningham Lindsey acquired the international operations of GAB Robins and EFI Global.”
