Corporate History

In 1976, Reagan M. Crawford understood the difficult challenge ERISA would pose for employers and formed Crawford, Slevin & Hicks, Inc. The vision was to create a company that would act as an advocate on behalf of employers in negotiating group benefit plans. During the ensuing 28 years, Crawford, Slevin & Hicks, Inc. grew from 2 to 120 employees with revenues in excess of $16 million and $750 million in claims management. In November of 2001, the assets of Crawford, Slevin & Hicks, Inc. were acquired by Wachovia Corporation, further enhancing the ability to offer additional products and services.

In March of 2004, Crawford Advisors, LLC acquired the assets of the Sparks, Maryland Wachovia Insurance Services facility. Crawford Advisors, LLC has renewed its commitment to the "personalized service" concept that is so important to its clients. Crawford Advisors, LLC provides a team of seasoned benefit consultants, account executives, underwriters, claims managers, IT professionals, graphic designers and customer service representatives who possess a deep understanding of the insurance, benefit and financial arenas.

In little over a year, Crawford Advisors, LLC announced its merger with Wayne, Pennsylvania based Risk Management Group, Inc. (RMGI). RMGI was an insurance consulting and brokerage practice specializing in the design, implementation and ongoing administration of employee benefit plans. This office was relocated to Radnor, PA in February 2007. This merger brought human capital consulting services and best in class Lost Time Management Strategies that boosts Crawford Advisors, LLC suite of offerings. This merger broadens significantly the access to insurance markets.
