Speaker Biography
Karen started her career as an apprentice mechanic in a small family run business carrying out service and repairs to private cars and light commercial vehicles. On completion of her apprenticeship she wished to continue with her studies and completed her Institute of Automotive Engineer Assessors course.(I.A.E.A)
This sparked her interest in the world of motor insurance and soon took up the exciting opportunity of a technical assistant within the claims team of a large insurer. Her promotion to Field Engineer followed within 12 months and this was one of the steepest learning curves she has experienced.
Children came along which presented new challenges and the requirement for more flexibility so she pursued a Training opportunity with a leading North West training provider to deliver motor vehicle mechanical and body repairs to years 10 & 11, apprentices and adult learners becoming a self-taught tutor whilst undertaking the required qualifications at a local college in the evening.
After a spell of approx. 7 years she wanted to return to the exciting world of motor insurance and filled the vacancy of In House Engineer at AXA Insurance and progressed to In House Senior Engineer in 2015 which is her current position and the highlight so far is being the winner of the VDA Bodyshop Magazine Awards 3 times.
