From 1986 until late 2013 Michiel worked with various contractors’ firms in the building industry in various positions ranging from engineer to technical manager. In 2013 Michiel commenced his loss adjusting career at Sedgwick’s where he mainly handled Construction All Risks and Liability claims.
In 2021 he joined McLarens. Claims handling was and is almost exclusively in the building industry, for Construction All Risks and GTPL Insurers.
Michiel is a great communicator working to the satisfaction of insured parties, third parties and other stakeholders. His practical knowledge of (modern) contracts and building techniques and associated costs is much to the benefit of his job.
