Martin Overton to replace the departing Bob Perry as ACM MD
The BGL Group has appointed a new managing director to drive the future of its claims management business, ACM ULR.
Martin Overton, currently business development director of BGL’s affinity specialist, Junction, will take over from Bob Perry as of 31 January 2009.
Bob Perry has been with the group for 13 years, during which time he developed the group’s claims business for both in-house and external brands, and established ACM as a key profit driver for the BGL Group and its partners.
BGL said it plans to bring renewed focus to the external outsourcing potential of ACM’s model. The claims management specialist already works with a small number of external insurers. The company said it is well placed to work with new partners in the industry.
Peter Winslow, chief executive of the BGL Group, said: “I am sad to see Bob leave us after a long and illustrious career with the group. But we are fortunate that Martin Overton has an enviable track record in new business generation and contract management that will take the ACM ULR business on to new success.”
Overton joined the BGL Group in April 2006 as director of commercial and corporate services, before moving to head up business development for Junction in July 2007. He was previously chief operating officer of Servista, a supplier of customer care and billing services.
