Woodgate & Clark, one of the U.K.’s leading loss adjusters is announcing the retirement of Operations Director, Graeme Fitzpatrick, following 12 years in the organisation's executive leadership team and a total of over 40 years in the profession. During his career, Fitzpatrick has successfully managed a number of high-profile material damage, business interruption and third-party property claims across a range of industries.
A valued mentor and role model for those starting their career in loss adjusting, Fitzpatrick has long been passionate about attracting people to the industry and nurturing talent. With a firm eye on the future, Fitzpatrick has not only advocated for people development but has led a series of important service innovations including the Quadrassist Desktop Adjuster proposition. He also helped ensure a smooth transition of the business following the acquisition by Van Ameyde Group in 2015 and the integration of Quadra Claims Services, following its acquisition in 2021.
Fitzpatrick is a keen cyclist who loves travelling and this year raised money for charity by taking part in a 54-mile hike across rural Perthshire. The expedition took more than 24-hours to complete and he was back to work within 48 hours.
James Eveling, Managing Director, Woodgate & Clark said: “For over a decade, Graeme has been a dedicated and influential leader at Woodgate & Clark. His expertise, meticulous attention to detail and professionalism have elevated the company and earned high praise from both customers and colleagues across the business. We would like to thank Graeme for his dedication to Woodgate & Clark and wish him all the very best for his well-earned retirement.”
