Procurement and Third Party Management Specialist

At MIB our people are passionate about making roads safer by getting uninsured and hit-and-run drivers off our roads.

Last year we helped more than 34,000 people struck by uninsured and hit-and-run drivers and paid over £400 million in compensation to support victims rebuild their lives.
