Meet our leadership team
James MacBeth
Managing Director
I started at Auto Windscreens as a Trainee Technician in 1992. I’m from a small Scottish fishing village called Mallaig. I live in Falkirk now, so work away from home, predominantly at head office in Chesterfield, in the network or in London. My weekends are spent with my wife, Eleanor, my three children and my dog, Marley. My grandfather was a steam engine driver and dad was a boatbuilder, so I’ve long had an interest in anything mechanical. I enjoy renovating and selling boats, and my latest project is a 28 foot Bayliner, which I’ve named after my wife.
Claire Church
Director of Service Delivery
I joined Auto Windscreens 21 years a as a call centre agent and I have spent most of my working life in contact centres. As my career progressed with Auto Windscreens, I had the opportunity to explore the Network Operations side of the business and understand fully the end-to-end customer journey.
My role is to look after Service Delivery, including Contact Centre, Supply Chain, Business Validation, ART/Fleet Team and Resource Planning. I’ve lived in Chesterfield my whole life and I am married with two children who both work for Auto Windscreens, Megan is full time as an apprentice and Oliver works part Time alongside his sixth form study. Away from work, I love to socialise with family and friends, and on holiday.

I live in East Hertfordshire with my wife and three children. Outside of work, I enjoy watching and playing football and have a huge passion for music. But most of all I enjoy spending quality time with my family.
