Fairwell and Thank You to Michael McVeigh 

Date: Tue 1st July 2025   |   Author: Kate Guckian

It is with deep gratitude and regret that we announce the departure of Michael McVeigh, who, after 20 years of extraordinary service, has made the very difficult decision to move on from the AutoProtect Group (“APG”) to pursue new interests. 

Michael joined the Group in 2006, not long after its inception, and from day one, he has poured his energy, expertise, and heart into every part of our business. Over two remarkable decades, Michael has quite literally done it all—serving in almost every role, giving unwavering commitment to the success of the business, his colleagues, and our clients. 

Serving as Chief Operating Officer, a role he has held for the past seven years, Michael was instrumental in building an industry-leading claims administration capability and in nurturing many of the Group’s longest-standing client and supplier relationships. His operational expertise and steady leadership were key in unifying the Group’s diverse business units, helping to unlock the synergistic advantages of a consolidated value proposition and, more recently, the pursuit of operational excellence. 

On behalf of everyone at APG, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Michael for all that he has given and all that he has helped us become. 

Graeme Nieman, Group CEO, shared:

Michael’s influence is woven into the very fabric of the APG, and his contributions over the past 20 years have helped shape not only our operations, but our culture and values. I am deeply grateful for his loyalty, leadership, and tireless commitment.

While we are saddened to see him go, we support him wholeheartedly in this next chapter and thank him for everything he has done for our business, our team, and our partners.” 

Michael, you will be greatly missed. We wish you every success and happiness on the road ahead, and your legacy will continue to inspire us all.
