Crawford & Company has appointed three specialists to its renewable energy practice to strengthen its technical capabilities in the growing sustainable energy sector.

The global claims management provider announced on Wednesday the appointments of Abid Sayeed as offshore renewables technical lead, Joe Norton Mead as renewable energy technical lead, and William Entwistle as renewable energy loss adjuster.

Sayeed brings more than 30 years of experience spanning conventional and renewable energy sectors. He previously served as asset management and operations and maintenance lead at Kent Engineering & Consulting and worked as a fleet-wide offshore wind asset integrity manager at RWE Renewables UK.

Norton Mead has worked in the power and renewables industry since 2008, developing expertise across wind farms, battery energy storage systems, and other renewable assets. He joins from Windtechs, where he held the position of general manager, and previously worked as a site operations manager for Natural Power.

Entwistle brings expertise across green hydrogen technology, solar energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and battery energy storage systems. He most recently served as a technology engineer for renewables and hydrogen at SSE.

The company noted the appointments reflect Crawford’s investment in technical and industry experience to support customers in the energy sector’s transition to sustainable sources, including wind, solar, battery energy storage systems, hydrogen, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass. The company’s renewable energy practice delivers loss adjusting and risk engineering services to insurers of commercial-scale renewable energy projects while providing risk advisory services for insurers and investors globally.

“We’re pleased to welcome Abid, Joe, and William to the Renewable Energy Practice,” said Alan Tucker (pictured), global head of renewable energy practice. “Their deep expertise across offshore wind, battery storage, hydrogen, and solar strengthens our ability to support our clients as companies transition to more sustainable energy sources.”
