Renewable Energy Loss Adjusters (RELA), a specialist in renewable energy claims and risk assessment, has appointed Alan Tucker as its new head.
Tucker (pictured) will “drive RELA’s expansion” in key global renewable energy markets.
In addition, the company has hired Martin Dobson, who joins the company as a senior loss adjuster.
From its offices on Gracechurch Street, London, RELA provides loss adjusting services, including pre-risk surveys, engineering valuations, and loss mitigation, to insurers of large-scale renewable energy projects as well as risk advisory services to both insurers and investors.
The firm’s services cover all types of renewable energy ranging from solar and on- and offshore wind, to hydro, wave-tidal, bio energy and geothermal projects.
Tucker joins RELA from Abaco International Loss Adjusters (AILA), where he has served as UK managing director for the previous four years, with responsibility for 24 offices worldwide.
Dobson also joins RELA from AILA. As a loss adjuster, he has experience in claims for large business interruption or delays across various global jurisdictions including UK, Latin America, North America and Europe, according to RELA.
Commenting on his appointment Alan Tucker said, “The expansion of renewable energy technologies into new geographies means that companies need specialist understanding not only of the many technical aspects that can be involved in a loss, but also of the markets for which these projects are developed.
“Martin and I are looking forward to leading a great team of specialists in renewable energy claims as we meet the changing needs of our clients. RELA has a strong presence across Europe and North America, and we look forward to building our presence further in 2020.”
