company Experian Ltd and has extensive experience managing and developing credit
and marketing services operations in the UK and internationally.
“We are naturally very pleased to have succeeded in recruiting Chris Savage with
his broad-based experience and thorough knowledge of the credit industry, says

to capitalise on the good opportunities offered by our regional organisation and
on the market.”

Intrum Justitia at such an exciting time in their history. The UK & Ireland
market offers huge growth potential and it is my objective to focus our
dedicated team of people to combine the rich data assets available with smart
analytical decision support to deliver outstanding service and innovative
solutions to our clients.”
