About

After fulfilling my ambition to run my own business, I was offered an opportunity to join AutoQuotes in the UK as a Managing Director to help drive the growth of the business, with an extremely exciting NPD Programme. I look forward to working with the UK team to enhance the excellent reputation that they have already established over the past 12 years.
