Crawford for Retail and Wholesale

Today's retailers and wholesalers face a wide range of challenges, including industry consolidation, employee attraction and retention, and business continuity. Additionally, the constantly escalating pressure from consumers and competitors on the price-to-value equation makes success more challenging than ever. These trends create a host of risks; strategic, financial, operational, and other new claims types that can prove costly. As the industry becomes increasingly global and consolidated, the risks and claims become bigger and more complex.
