Credit hire company Helphire has revamped its board, with Mark Jackson taking over as chief executive and Michael J Symons becoming executive deputy chairman.
Jackson was formerly deputy chief executive and Symons was chief executive. Jackson said: “The truth of the matter is that Michael and I have shared the running of the company and this is just a formalisation.”
The company said the move best utilised the skills of the two. Symons is a lawyer and Jackson was a GP before joining Helphire full-time in 1999.
Helphire also confirmed that it had begun a three-month trial with the AA of no-fault accident management services to some of the AA's insurance customers.
A new subscription product called Theftsure is being trialled. This provides a replacement vehicle for up to 12 weeks in cases of car theft. Premiums are based on geographical location and car type.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
