Chaney joins after three years as Junction associate director
Bike broker Bennetts has appointed Vince Chaney as its new director.
Chaney joined the BGL Group in 2009 as associate director, e-commerce and marketing within Junction, the group’s partnerships division. He became director in 2010. Prior to joining the group, he was head of customer strategy at HBOS.
Chaney said: “I’m delighted to join Bennetts and look forward to the opportunities and challenges the role will bring. Bennetts is well established with bikers, many of them brand advocates, which is a great position for an insurance provider in a price-sensitive market. It’s an exciting time for me to join Bennetts as the team launches its own social network and looks to build on its position as the no 1 bike insurance specialist.”
BGL’s group director of intermediated businesses David Downie said: “Vince’s commercial insight and expertise in handling Junction’s external partnerships positions him well to lead Bennetts in its next stage of growth. Vince will play a key role in delivering Bennetts’ vision of providing much more than just insurance to UK bikers.”
Chaney succeeds Paul Galligan, who held the role for three years before moving to BGL Group’s price comparison business, Comparethemarket.com as managing director in September 2011.
Chaney joined HBOS as head of strategy, intermediary distribution and specialist banking in February 2006. Prior to this, he was head of research and head of commercial development at Trucost plc, a business ratings company.
