Graham Hawkins takes up new role
Cunningham Lindsey has promoted Graham Hawkins as princial specialist to its environmental solutions team.
Hawkins will lead a team of 80 licensed environmental loss adjusters and consultants handling property and liability claims resulting from environmental incidents.
His team handle claims ranging from leaking oil tanks in domestic properties to hydrocarbon and chemical spills, asbestos pollution and radioactive leaks.

Vallance said: "I am delighted to appoint Graham to this role and have full confidence that his leadership of the team will build on our existing successes."
