Having built APU Limited into a nationally recognised team of investigators successfully tackling motor insurance fraud, I embraced the opportunity of a wider company rebrand to focus on risk mitigation for insurers, fleet operators and motorists. Under my direction and leadership, AX Protect has built an industry leading stolen vehicle recovery service and helped create the AXTrack brand, which continues to prosper.
