Global insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., has announced its acquisition of UK third-party claims administrator Claims Settlement Agencies Ltd (CSA).
Arthur J. Gallagher’s risk management services subsidiary, Gallagher Bassett International Ltd (GB), carried out the purchase of CSA, which is based in Hadleigh, Essex.
Founded in 1990, CSA specializes in handling claims arising from corporate and personal travel, Accident & Health and Personal Accident insurance, and also offers medical screening and policy fulfilment services.
CSA works primarily with UK-based London market underwriters and insurers, dealing with claims arising from incidents occurring in nearly every global travel destination.

“CSA immediately increases the range of services and expertise GB can offer its new and existing clients, and provides GB opportunities to cross-sell other products and services to underwriters and insurers they haven’t previously worked with,” said J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr., Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Chairman, President and CEO.
“We are delighted to welcome Scott and his team to our growing global company.”
