Last week, Crawford & Company celebrated its 77th anniversary with festivities in its Atlanta support center and around the globe.
Founded on the vision of Jim Crawford to deliver top-quality, reasonably-priced claims services to the insurance industry, Crawford & Company first opened its doors on May 27, 1941. From humble beginnings in Columbus, Georgia, Crawford has grown to become the world鈥檚 largest publicly listed independent claims management company, with more than 700 offices around the world.
Participating in the Atlanta Founder鈥檚 Day festivities was board member and son of founder Jim Crawford, Jesse Crawford, along with Jesse鈥檚 wife Sherri and son, Jesse Crawford, Jr (also a member of the board of directors). CEO Harsha V. Agadi kicked off the celebration with a speech acknowledging Crawford鈥檚 beginnings and honoring its current employees; afterwards, members of the global executive management (GEM) team served ice cream to hundreds of employees in Atlanta.
Around the world, Crawford offices participated in the Founder鈥檚 Day fun with cake and sweet treats for all.
Thanks to all who made this year鈥檚 Founder鈥檚 Day a success, and cheers to our 78th year! Be sure to watch our commemorative or check out the from our people around the world.
