It was 1969 when Robert "Bob" Young founded the company that would become Sedgwick, a leading global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions.
Under Young's leadership, the business grew from "a small claims services company" to 500 employees. Since his retirement in 1996, Sedgwick has grown even further, now boasting 27,000 employees in 65 countries.
