AutoProtect has confirmed the permanent appointment of Graeme Nieman as its chief executive after he first joined the business as interim CEO in May 2022.

Before his time at AutoProtect Group, Nieman served as the head of motor product partnerships at Correlation Risk Partners, AutoProtect’s sole shareholder.

His association with AutoProtect Group extends beyond his interim role, having been a pivotal figure and long-term partner of the business serving its wider operational and group boards for several years.

AutoProtect  said Nieman’s appointment as the permanent CEO is a testament to his exceptional leadership skills, industry expertise, and his profound commitment to the company and said that under his guidance, the group is poised to reinforce its position as a market leader.

"We are excited to embark on this new chapter with Graeme at the helm," said Alex Lugt, managing director at Correlation Risk Partners, "His vision and leadership are exactly what AutoProtect Group needs as we continue to grow in what we know to be a dynamic market”.
