ST. LOUIS — Dent Wizard International has promoted Grant Allen and Scott Whitney to the recently created roles of hail business development managers. In their new positions, Allen and Whitney will help the company continue to improve its hail response services across North America.

The two previously served as regional hail managers; Allen covering North Carolina and South Carolina; and Whitney covering Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah.

Allen and Whitney are part of a 30-person hail management and support team working with thousands of technicians in the field responding to hail damage throughout the U.S. and Canada. 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.

“2014 was a year of tremendous growth for Dent Wizard’s Hail Department,” Yanak said. “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.”
