Mark’s experience also includes significant exposure to construction claims. Commencing his career in the UK, Mark relocated to Australia in 1985 with a global loss adjusting firm, having established their regional NSW office.

Managing Director, David Cambridge responded to the appointments by saying; “we are excited by the prospect of having Loss Adjusters of the calibre of Mark and Neale bolster TA’s property and construction capability, coupled with the engagement of Steve Bar-bara, who will draw on his vast international forensic accounting experience across the UK, Europe, South East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. These appointments will further enhance our offering to clients both in Victoria and nationally.”
