DriverCheck has promoted head of operations Yvette Giannini to become its new managing director.
The appointment supports the next phase of expansion and development at the Glasgow-based business, part of the Compliance division of the Ebbon Group.
Giannini reports into Robert Pilkington and Craig Gibbin, joint CEOs at Ebbon Group, and has gained sales and marketing functions alongside her role as managing director.
She joined the business in 2021 as operations manager, before advancing to become operations director and then head of operations.
“In many ways, this was a natural progression for Yvette and is richly deserved. Her appointment will also enable the members of her senior team to further expand their roles and we wish her, and them, all possible success for the future,” commented Robert Pilkington.
Giannini said: “I’m very excited to take on this new role and responsibility, and to help take DriverCheck into the next phase of its development, while maintaining an emphasis on the further refinement of our existing products and services.
“Our focus will continue to be on providing a first-rate, professional, automated system of licence and compliance checking that we have become nationally renowned for; and providing highly efficient managed services for our clients to remove the administrative and operational burdens of licence checking and grey fleet management from their daily activities.”
DriverCheck provides managed service, including licence checking and grey fleet services, to a 1,200-strong client base that includes a host of household names in the insurance, utilities and automotive sectors.
Its expansion plans are also being facilitated by a recent move to new offices, almost doubling the size of the previous site, while the business also appointed Andy Smith as head of sales last year to further expand its management team. Further appointments are now planned.
Ebbon Group joint CEO Craig Gibbin added: “The new offices, plus additional recruitment in the pipeline along with a complete technology update and refresh, all combine to underline our ongoing commitment to DriverCheck.”
