Sean Stevens has been appointed as the chief executive officer at Vehicle Inspection (VINZ) reporting to the company’s board.

He’s also charged with seeking out strategic partnerships and opportunities to expand VINZ, while ensuring the company provides industry-leading service to its customers.

He joined VINZ in August 2015 and was formerly general manager of operations and delivery. He has an extensive industry background having held roles with Ateco and Continental Car Services before joining VINZ – initially as national manager of delivery.

“Sean has led VINZ’s operational delivery in a time of change and growth, and we know he has the necessary skills to continue to guide the company’s growth as an inspection organisation,” says Euan Philpot, director of VINZ.

Fellow director Gordon Shaw adds: “Sean has a proven track record at VINZ and was the obvious choice for the permanent role. We expect his strengths in customer service management will contribute to stronger and deeper relationships with our customers and the wider automotive industry.”

Stevens has been acting CEO of VINZ role since August 2019 having taken on that position from Shaw.
