CARSTAR appoints new regional manager in Alberta

Auto repair company CARSTAR has appointed a new regional manager for Alberta.

In his new role, Darren Lumsden will head up business development efforts in the provinces and will act as the first point of contact for the company’s Alberta-based franchise partners.

Lumsden will work alongside Lloyd Wheeler, the company’s regional director for western Canada, and Terry Holowaty, its quality systems specialist for western Canada.

Lumsden previously worked with Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Calgary for 12 years, where he “built strong relationships with CARSTAR’s Alberta-based franchise partners, and developed a solid understanding of the collision repair and insurance industry in general,” according to the company.

He was also a founding member of Enterprise’s Community Relations Committee, and outside of Enterprise has volunteered his time with organizations including Ronald McDonald House, Meals on Wheels and Kids Up Front.
