Loss adjuster, QuestGates, makes changes to its management structure following company review

QuestGates has strengthened it senior management structure with the appointment of three new board directors.

The changes follow the company's first review since becoming a limited company and the acquisition of the equity of director David Miles.

The new board directors, who join on 1 July, will be Greg Laker, Ross Macpherson and Alistair Steward, who will be responsible for service delivery, client services and business development respectively.

In addition the management team for the QuestGates Liability division is to be strengthened with the appointment of Martyn Gabbitass as technical director and Stuart Mclean as divisional operations director.

The new appointees have all been with QuestGates since its transformation into a limited company, with the exception of Alistair Steward, who joined last year from Cunningham Lindsey.

Having relinquished his equity, David Miles, who was one of the founding partners of The Quest Gates Partnership, which became QuestGates Ltd in 2003, has resigned as a director.

QuestGates managing director, Chris Hall, said: "We will shortly enter our fifth year as a limited company and the business has grown out of all recognition, especially the range of services we offer and the size of our client base.

"I am delighted that we have been able to acquire David's equity without the need for external finance and also that he has agreed to remain in his present role with QuestGates, particularly in respect of our equestrian business, a field in which he is a recognised expert. The changes to the management team will enable us to continue the evolution of QuestGates into the company of choice for clients who require specialist services, delivered to a high standard."
