Claims services business Claim Central has appointed Gerard Bravo as Trade Relationship Manager.

He will be responsible for pairing Claim Central trades with agreements to provide access to competitive discounts on building materials such as timber and paint, and equipment hire.

“Through enhancing our supply chain process we are providing access to competitive pricing for trades and ultimately reducing the average claims costs for insurers.”
