Bureau Veritas acquires MatthewsDaniel
Bureau Veritas acquires MatthewsDaniel Ltd, a global leader in loss adjusting and risk assessment services for the offshore industry.
Created in Houston, Texas, in 1962, MatthewsDaniel is headquartered in London and has operations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. The company employs more than 150 people and reported revenues of approximately EUR 34M in 2013.
MatthewsDaniel primarily provides services for the insurance market. Their loss adjusting activities include incident investigations, root cause analysis, damage and reinstatement assessment and cost estimation. Their risk assessment portfolio focuses especially on Marine Warranty Surveying activities for both offshore projects and rigs.
MatthewsDaniel has a very strong position in the offshore oil and gas industry. The services they offer for the upstream energy market are driven by an increasing number of installations in operation and particularly drilling units. This new acquisition allows Bureau Veritas to enter the loss adjusting business and strengthen its position in risk assessment.

“The acquisition of MatthewsDaniel represents a major development for our Marine & Offshore business. It will diversify our services and help us grow our presence in the offshore industry where we provide very high added value services.”
