Vehicle rentals company Nexus has appointed Pritesh Acharya as its new damage manager.

The role, which is newly created, will see Acharya take responsibility for the management of damage claims between Nexus and its clients.

Acharya moves to Nexus from ING car lease, and has held a number of roles within the car rental industry, at branch and customer levels.

John Ellis, Nexus commercial director, said: “With business volumes having doubled in the past 12 months, it was vital that we recruited someone who could take ownership of the damage department and revolutionise the damage handling within the Nexus operation.”
