Chemistry

Chemicals and petrochemicals are involved in many industrial production processes, and are also found in consumer goods: textiles, innovative materials, cosmetics, household products, coatings, etc.

The complexity of the physical phenomena involved, which can be difficult to control, make this sector particularly vulnerable to the risk of defective finished or semi-finished products, and can also present a safety risk to people and the environment.

In addition to their responsiveness and knowledge of regulations, our teams possess a range of skills that are essential to technical investigations: chemistry, mechanics, materials, electricity, thermal science, etc.

OUR LOSS ADJUSTERS

Morgan PETIT

Loss adjuster

My fascination with the sea led me to studying chemistry and life sciences before becoming a doctor of oceanography. After several years in research, I joined the Environment and Life Sciences division at GM Consultant. I was trained in performing damage surveys by the Industrial Risks division. I assess public liability issues that are part of environmental and health claims. The same investigative spirit that drove my scientific research now drives my search for facts and evidence.
Through my passions for sailing, diving, and underwater photography, I explore the ocean from every angle, just as I do with my cases.

I'm a mining engineer, and worked for a major French industrial company for 11 years. I was in charge of European and international IT projects, and also held positions in procurement and finance at one of the group's factories in China.
I started at GM Consultant in 2013, and joined the Hong Kong office a few months later.

Pierre-Etienne SOUYRIS

Loss Adjuster - Industries & Consumer Goods

With training in Industrial Engineering from the École des Arts et Métiers, I spent 10 years as an industrial site manager within an association of SMEs. Working on the ground in a field dealing with the challenges faced by industries in the 21st century, I combined production line management with team management. In 2017, I joined GM Consultant as an Industrial Risk Loss Adjuster, specialising in public liability. Each and every day, I put my in-depth knowledge of industrial processes to work and, more specifically, my materials expertise. A keen kitesurfer, I combine technique, humility and a desire to surpass myself both at work and at play.
