Global head of TPA at McLarens says the firm is focused on delivering quality outcomes, so it has hand-picked the best experts in the industry 

McLarens has bolstered its third-party administration (TPA) offering by hiring a team of six senior TPA specialists from Broadspire, part of Crawford and Company.

The incoming team, which holds an average of 20 years of experience between them, will support the continued development of McLarens’ TPA capabilities at an international level.   

They will be based in London and report to the firm’s global head of TPA Kirsten Early.  

Early said: “These hires are about building strength at a senior level. In an insurance world increasingly dominated by globalisation and consolidation, international claims handling is a sophisticated business, demanding the expertise and experience of highly skilled and innovative practitioners.  

“We’re focused on delivering quality outcomes for our clients and we will do this by hand-picking the best experts in the industry. I’m delighted to welcome this team of trusted market leaders to McLarens.” 

Early joined McLarens in May to spearhead the strategic expansion of McLarens TPA, building upon the company’s existing proposition to develop a global service.
