Davies has announced the acquisition of Johns Eastern Company, the leading third-party administration (TPA) and independent adjusting firm.

Florida-based Johns Eastern delivers technology-enabled end-to-end management services for claims relating to workers compensation, automotive, trucking, general liability, property and cargo.

It will now form part of Davies’ established claims operations in the US, with President and CEO Don Lederer continuing to lead the business as well as taking on additional responsibilities as CEO of Davies’ TPA operations in the US. Don will report directly to Matt Button, CEO of Davies US.   

Dan Saulter, Group CEO, Davies, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Don and the entire Johns Eastern team to Davies. The business has an excellent reputation in the market for its long-lasting relationships with clients and for its employees’ experience and tenure, dedication and exceptional service delivery.”   

Don Lederer said: “Over recent years, Davies has accelerated into the US market, and by combining our businesses we have a stronger service proposition for insurance clients who are seeking to engage with a trusted partner that heavily invests in technology and delivers outstanding service experiences.”
