About Us
Struan Robertson was Chief Executive Officer of Robins Davies International Group (which became GAB Robins) until 1988 when SGS acquired the entire share capital. Struan had previously come to the conclusion that the provision of specialised major loss services to the insurance market could probably be better achieved from a dedicated company with a well defined core business and the acquisition by SGS was a catalyst to put his views into practice. In consequence, Struan decided to leave GAB Robins and formed this company with a select group of colleagues at the end of 1988.
The objective of this Company is to concentrate on the management of large property and business interruption losses particularly in the energy sector.
This is achieved through the development and implementation of a Loss Management Plan. We developed this approach some years ago and it is now generally recognised as an effective management tool for large losses.
A list of some of the larger cases that have been successfully managed by Robertson and Co can be seen below.
Euan Robertson
Euan joined Robertson and Co in 1997 after completing a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.Eng Hons) and a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA). He now has 20 years of experience in Loss Adjusting, specifically in large losses using the Loss Management Plan methodology.
Struan started Robertson and Co in 1988 after being CEO of Robins Davies International (now GAB Robins). Struan has worked as an Adjuster since 1972 and has over 45 years experience in the field.
Struan developed the Loss Management Plan approach to managing large losses in the 1980’s following a large loss in Texas. Struan was asked to take over the loss after the appointed adjusters and the Insured had reached an impasse. It was at this time that Struan realised that the traditional adjusting approach was poorly suited to the management of large losses.
