Shaun Hawley and Ben Manogue have joined Sedgwick as Aviation Surveyors in its Asia team, the loss adjuster announced on LinkedIn. 

Hawley joins Sedgwick in Singapore after working for over 7 years at His Majesty the Sultan’s Flight in Brunei, where he served most recently as Head of Continuing Airworthiness.

A licensed aircraft engineer, Hawley enters the new role equipped with over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry, formerly working for Britain’s Royal Navy, and CHC Helicopter in Norway before moving to Asia. 

Now based in Singapore, Manogue moves to Sedgwick following an over 9-year stint with Virgin Australia, where he most recently served as a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

In his new role, he brings over two decades of experience in aviation, including as both a licensed engineer and supervisor for several aircraft and engine types. 

The appointments align with Sedgwick’s growth strategy, with the loss adjuster having expanded its global aviation adjusting and surveying capabilities in May this year.
