Gordon Grant has left Carter & Carter’s bodyshop unit and joined Accident Exchange as manufacturer account director.

Grant had been at Carter & Carter for eight years, most recently as director of its accident repair business unit.

In that high profile role, he developed training and standards programmes for carmaker-approved bodyshop networks, including Volkswagen Group, Jaguar and Land Rover, Peugeot and Toyota.

Grant’s responsibilities will include introducing more of Accident Exchange's suite of support services including test drive programmes, dealer rental car operations, and demonstrator and courtesy car management to manufacturers.
