Coincidentally, the same week that unusual thunderstorms raced across much of the country, Dent Wizard promoted two new hail business development managers.

Grant Allen and Scott Whitney will take on the two newly created positions designed to help the company continue to improve its hail response services across North America.

Allen and Whitney previously worked as regional hail managers, Allen covering North Carolina and South Carolina; and Whitney covering Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah, the company shared.

Allen joined Dent Wizard in 1999, and Whitney joined the company in 2011.  The two will report to Todd Yanak, Dent Wizard’s vice president of business development for hail.

The newly promoted execs are part of a 30-person hail management and support team that work with thousands of technicians in the field responding to hail damage throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

“2014 was a year of tremendous growth for Dent Wizard’s Hail Department,” said Yanak. “We instituted new programs, updated our systems, and strengthened our partnerships with many of our customers. With Grant and Scott in their new roles, we are confident that 2015 will provide many more opportunities for growth and helping our customers.”

Mike Black, chief operating officer of Dent Wizard, added: "Both of these gentlemen have extensive experience in the industry and in responding to hail storms, which has been helpful to our customers and to Dent Wizard. They understand the value we provide through our ability to execute, serve, and work as a partner during very hectic, catastrophic events.”
