Jayson Whittington has been appointed to the newly created role of manager of commercial vehicle and leisure valuations at Glass’s. The role was a result of merging the roles of chief editor for commercial vehicles and chief editor of leisure vehicles, after the departure of their holders.

Whittington’s new position will cover all commercial and leisure vehicle valuations, the latter including motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes.

Jayson joined Glass’s in March 2014 as leisure editor, before this he held key roles at Manheim, Carshop, Robins and Day, and PHH Arval.

The creation of Jayson’s role coincided with the departure of chief editor for commercial vehicles George Alexander and chief editor of leisure vehicles Randal Thomas. They had worked at Glass’s for 28 years and 17 years respectively.

Rupert Pontin, head of valuations at Glass’s, said: "George and Randal have been Glass’s stalwarts for many years, providing a highly professional and very accurate valuations service for our customers. The company owes them a huge debt of gratitude. Jayson has big shoes to fill but he has an excellent track record in the industry and we are sure he will be a success."

Pontin said the two older positions had been combined as part of an enhancement in the way that Glass’s handled and processed its data, making the split role unnecessary.
