Former Merlin director joins Evander

Former Merlin Claims client and customer services director Alex Kilpatrick has joined glazing and locks company Evander Group as sales director.

Evander managing director Alan Horton confirmed the appointment.

Before joining Merlin, Kilpatrick was Homeserve client development director.

Merlin made 170 staff redundant after falling into administration earlier this month.

The loss adjuster kept a skeleton crew of 34 staff to hand over its workload before administrators BDO wind the business down.
