Accident Exchange has added Tim Eaves to its five-strong team of divisional managing directors, assuming the role for sales & commercial relationships.

He joins Michael Killoury (customer services), Rod Seel (Logistics), Martin Bramwell (infrastructure and IT) and Nikki Roy (financial & commercial support) as the head of one of the five core operational areas for Accident Exchange.

All the appointments have been made internally and will report directly to Steve Evans, chief executive of Accident Exchange Group.

Eaves, who joined Accident Exchange in 2005, established the company's insurance and contract hire/fleet management relationships and has held previous roles at Europcar and Kenning as sales and marketing director.

He said: "I am looking forward to developing our already strong commercial relationships.

“The challenge is to build on the foundations already in place, and in such an economic climate, help our partners maximise the potential monetary and non-monetised returns of an integrated accident management and replacement vehicle service."
