New faces, new places in 2023
Hello and welcome to the first Broker News edition of 2023. And change is already taking place. Hollie Crumlish (left) has taken over as head of Alphabet Partner following (pictured above) Nickie Conde’s departure for Arval as lead of the broker channel. Congratulations to them both.
Meanwhile Gavin Davies has joined Copart after a long career with Alphabet – we wish him good luck. We will be providing further details on these executive changes in due course.
These executive career moves preview what will no doubt be another year of great change in the broker channel as we accelerate into 2023. I look forward to it.
