ATLANTA, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRDA;
CRDB) announced today that Charles H. Ogburn, an executive director at
international investment firm Arcapita Inc., has been elected to its Board of
Directors. Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on Ogburn's Board
membership during the Company's annual meeting May 5 in Atlanta.

In another board-related move, the Company announced that Chairman Thomas
W. Crawford will continue to serve in that capacity through 2009 and will step
down from the position at the end of the year. The Board will name a successor
at a later date in 2009.

Tom Crawford was named president and chief executive officer of Crawford &
Company in 2004, after nearly 40 years in the insurance industry. He retired
from that role and became chairman of the Board at the end of 2007. In
addition to serving as chairman, he represents the Company and industry in
publications and interviews and at speaking engagements, client meetings and
industry events. His final year as chairman fulfills the three- to five-year
time commitment he made when he joined Crawford.

"In his first year as our chairman, Tom has continued to provide Crawford
& Company with the insight gained through his distinguished service in the
insurance industry," said Jeffrey T. Bowman, Crawford's president and chief
executive officer. "I continue to work with Tom as chairman of the Board as we
implement strategies to grow the business in 2009."

Charlie Ogburn brings a wealth of international business experience to
Crawford's Board. Arcapita is a leading international investment firm with
locations in Bahrain, London, Singapore and Atlanta. Ogburn is responsible for
Arcapita's corporate investment line of business. Before joining Arcapita, he
spent more than 15 years at the investment banking firm The Robinson-Humphrey
Company Inc., most recently as senior managing director and co-head of
investment banking. He also previously was an attorney with the law firm of
King & Spalding.

Ogburn is a director of Caribou Coffee Company, a member of the Society of
International Business Fellows and a member of the Duke University Islamic
Studies Committee. He also is a director of the Atlanta Venture Forum and a
trustee of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation. He graduated from Duke
University and earned his law degree from Vanderbilt University School of Law.

"We are delighted that Charlie has chosen to join us on the Board," said
Bowman. "With his background in international business, his expertise and
perspective will be invaluable as we continue to expand our services around
the world."
