Tozer was most recently group operations director at Vertu Motors Plc, the sixth largest motor retailer in the UK, and was previously chairman and managing director of Vauxhall, CEO of Opel Ireland for General Motors and president of Mitsubishi Motors Europe.
For Tozer the appointment marks a successful return to Allianz Partners, where he was director for UK and Ireland from 2002-2004.
“As a proven, successful business leader, Tim will bring additional credibility and focus to the existing strong and ambitious management teams driving our successful UK and Ireland operations,” said Ida Luka-Lognone, member of the Allianz Partners board.
“This is an exciting time for Tim to be returning. Not only have both markets continued to grow their portfolio of extremely successful products and services spanning roadside assistance, warranty, travel insurance and international medical assistance, they have built a wider portfolio of customer care and retention services that exploit Allianz Partners’ global digital capabilities. We look forward to welcoming Tim as Allianz Partners UK and Allianz Partners Ireland continue to develop and deliver innovative, value adding product and service solutions for the assistance and insurance markets.”
