AutoProtect has appointed Peter Carter to spearhead the development and implementation of all compliance activities across the group including internal compliance, the leadership of the iComply programme and managing the business’ appointed retailers.

Carter will ensure that AutoProtect Group meets and exceeds its regulatory requirements while upholding good conduct and culture. At the same time, these same principles will also apply to his role in championing similar best practices by the business’ dealer partners to ensure compliance, good customer outcomes and enhanced partner performance.

Carter joins AutoProtect Group from a senior public sector compliance role. Before this, he had six years of automotive experience implementing F&I and GDPR compliance in dealerships across the UK.  

Commenting on his arrival at AutoProtect, Carter said: “I’m impressed with the innovative projects and plans that lay ahead of us and look forward to working collaboratively internally and externally with our partners, building on my previous experience in process improvement to achieve the business and our partners’ objectives.” 

His appointment completes group restructuring following Tara Williams’ move from chief compliance officer to her new role as chief revenue officer earlier this year.  

Graeme Nieman, AutoProtect chief executive (pictured), said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Peter to our business. His experience, industry knowledge, and passion for compliance make him a perfect fit to lead this business area in future success.  

“I’m confident that he will continue to uphold the high standards we’ve become known for, as well as charting his horizons for compliance across the organisation and our clients.”
