In addition to supporting the development of McLarens Aviation’s established Claims Management, Risk Management and Asset Management service lines, Staszel will work with McLarens Aviation’s recently launched Aviation Liability Unit.

Ken Forsyth, regional director, Americas said: “This represents an expansion of both our geographical reach and the services that we can provide to clients in the region. Since I joined the business 16 years ago we have placed a great emphasis on expanding our services in line with client demand and have subsequently evolved from being seen as an airline only business, to servicing all aspects of the aviation sector, including general and executive aviation.

“We are now looking to expand our services in liability claims handling and I am delighted that we are able to bring in industry experts such as Michael to help us meet this demand.”
