Dealer group employs succession plan
Queensland-based dealer group SJP Insurance Services has appointed a new managing director following the resignation of Kay Russell.
Russell steps down from the role after 17 years as managing director of the independently owned dealer group.
Former general manager of SJP Insurance Services, Martin Lowe, will now step into the role of managing director, after six years as general manager for the group.
Lowe has already appointed two additional directors: Alan Davies in New South Wales and Mark Rothnie in Queensland.
Russell will remain a shareholder in SJP Insurance Services.
