Mapfre Abraxas has appointed Nick Franklin as head of partnership and distribution.

He joins from The Warranty Group where he held various senior business and partnership development roles within the dealer and manufacturer sectors.

Jair Marrugo, managing director of Mapfre Abraxas, said “Nick brings with him a wealth of experience across the insurance and automotive markets.  His appointment will further strengthen our existing partnership and distribution team and the service and support we provide to our dealer partners.”

It follows a restructure within the team that, earlier in the year, saw Caroline Davies and Damian Tyler promoted to head up the South and North areas respectively.
