Our people
Meet the PurpleSquare Hire Team
Our service is only as strong as the people who deliver it. Meet the team behind PurpleSquare Hire.
Alan Brown
Managing Director
Alan founded PurpleSquare Hire after a long career in credit hire and accident management. He sets the tone for the business: operator-led, customer-first, no nonsense.
Fun fact: Will out-walk anyone in the office. Genuinely.
Jake Ellison
Operations Director
Jake runs the operational engine - fleet readiness, logistics, and the team that makes the promise of ‘fast’ real. A decade of credit hire experience under his belt.
Fun fact: Has a worrying knowledge of obscure motorway service stations.
David Ellison
Claims Manager
David owns the claims book - recovery, GTA compliance, and partner relationships. Calm head when others lose theirs.
Fun fact: Reads insurance contracts for fun. We are not joking.
Laura Ellison
Claims Handler
Laura is the voice claimants are most likely to hear - clear, kind, and relentless on their behalf.
Fun fact: Runs before work and lifts after it. The rest of us are tired just watching.
Sam Ellison
Business Development
Sam looks after our partner relationships - insurers, brokers, fleet operators. If we work together, you’ll know Sam.
Fun fact: Will absolutely talk you into a 5-a-side game on a Friday.
Ian Bailey
Logistics Manager
Ian is why a vehicle turns up where and when it should. Coordinates a nationwide network without breaking a sweat.
Fun fact: Knows every shortcut in the country. Probably.
The drivers who actually turn up
Whilst everyone above runs the claims, the drivers are pivotal in keeping people mobile and these are some of the people who are travelling the country to make this happen.
