There are many ways to progress your career; just ask Michael Stuart.

Starting out 10 years ago in an entry-level position, he has progressed significantly over the previous decade and is now Head of On Hire.

Michael has made a big impact in his current role, utilising a commercially aware approach to boost both team performance and financial results.

To mark this milestone, Chris Birkett, Winn Group Chief Executive Officer, said: “Ten years fly over fast! His commitment to the role is to be commended.

“But aside from that, Michael has demonstrated a very astute commercial understanding of the business and deals daily with our repairers, recovery partners, and hire providers with professionalism and a smile. 

“Well done, Michael, here’s to another 10.” 

Looking at the company’s prospects, Michael, who has been here since 2015, is optimistic about what lies ahead.

He said: “Optimism isn’t just a mindset at Winns, as we have always backed it by performance and a clear vision to be market leaders in the claims industry.

“That’s not only since I joined in 2015 but from 2002; given our recent financial postings, I think everyone can be optimistic that the future holds great things for all at Winn Group.”  

With a host of good memories scattered across his time with the company, Michael focused on one key element that explains his extended stay.

He continued: “It is the people. The longevity of staff, especially from around my joining period and before, is incredible and has meant I have made some great friends along the way, too many to name!

“From a working perspective, it has been incredible to have had Sarah Prince, Jonny Anderson, Daisy Saddington, and Joe Foalle grow with me throughout, as we have now been together for over six years!

“I have made some great memories here.”
