The founder of accident claims specialist Winn Group is stepping down from his chief executive role after 20 years at the helm.
Jeff Winn has moved into an executive chairman role, with Chris Birkett becoming Winn Group chief executive officer.
Mr Winn founded the Newcastle company in 2002 after becoming frustrated dealing with insurers after a car crash. He has grown the group to a multi-brand accident management firm under the umbrella of Winn Group, and it is set to hit £100m turnover for the first time in the 2023 financial year.
