’There remain new opportunities for growth ahead of us,’ says appointee

Insurance specialist Evolution Claims Management has appointed Russell Crewe as its new chief executive.

Crewe succeeds Darren Cooper, who will remain active within the business as a main board director.

Crewe joined Evolution Claims Management in March 2024 as managing director. Before this, he served as chief operating officer at Davies Property.

His career has also seen him work as a business unit director for claims management at Direct Group.

Cooper said: “Crewe’s appointment is a very positive move for the business, building upon our progress to date.

“I look forward to continuing to play an active role in supporting the senior management team in generating further success.”

Succession

Cooper is stepping down from the chief executive role after nine years.

Before joining Evolution Claims Management, he was chief executive of LAS Claims Management for eight years.

Crewe said: “The acceleration of the business has been impressive under Cooper’s leadership.

“There remain new opportunities for growth ahead of us, which we look to unlock with the support of Cooper and the rest of the board.”
