Two appointments made as prelude to product drive

EurotaxGlass has made two key staff appointments as it prepares to launch the all-new version of its Glassmatix repair estimating system, currently in the final testing phase of development.

Richard Gandy takes the role of commercial manager, with overall responsibility for the strategic development and direction of the company’s bodyshop and insurance product portfolio.

He is joined by David Punter who, as key account manager, will become a primary point of contact for major customers and business prospects within the vehicle repair market.

Gandy (FCMI, MIMI) joins EurotaxGlass’s following a 19-year spell at DuPont (UK) Ltd. Previously, he held responsibility for operational projects with insurers, fleets and other work providers.

Punter (MIMI, IMIAEA, MFIEA) spent five years as Business Development Manager at repair estimating system provider Audatex.

Managing Director at EurotaxGlass, Deven Thakrar said: “This is the latest phase in a comprehensive strategic investment programme for EurotaxGlass’s in the UK, as we put in place the resources to develop, support and provide a series of significant new products for our customers and our target markets.

“Richard and David will augment the existing bodyshop and insurance team, bringing additional experience of the vehicle repair market which will prove invaluable as we roll out Glassmatix and then other new products next year.”
