Sedgwick is the proud recipient of four awards including best overall large account third party administrator (TPA) for the second consecutive year. Sedgwick executives accepted the awards on the company's behalf at the Buyers Choice Awards luncheon in Chicago on Nov. 15.

"Each of these awards recognizes the outstanding efforts of our colleagues. The results of the survey reflect our quest to provide the best possible services to support employers' evolving business needs," said David A. North, president and chief executive officer of Sedgwick.

To determine the award recipients, Business Insurance retained an independent research firm to survey its buyer audience, including those who manage and purchase risk and benefits management products and insurance services. The survey was designed to identify the expertise and service qualities that buyers regard as most valuable in their commercial property insurers, commercial liability insurers, commercial auto insurers, workers' compensation insurers, brokers, and TPAs.

Our ongoing investment in technology-enabled solutions and expert resources positions us to continue to meet the needs of employers – regardless of their size, industry, or geographic profile – for years to come," added North.
