Zenith has today announced the appointment of Craig Taylor, as CEO of its Commercial division.
Craig, who will also be a member of the Executive Committee, brings over 35 years’ experience across logistics, supply chain, and fleet management disciplines, having held leadership roles at Asda, M&S, Morrisons and Boparan. He has an extensive understanding of the Commercial market and has delivered a range of complex transformational change programmes which have created material value for the customers and organisations he has worked for.
Following a handover period, he will replace Martin Jenkins who has decided to leave the business after eight years to pursue a portfolio career.
"We’re delighted to welcome Craig to the business to build on the success of our Commercial division. His wealth of experience within the sector positions us well to realise the opportunities for our next phase of the Group’s strategy.
“I would personally like to thank Martin for helping establish Zenith as the one of the leading providers of fleet management in the Commercial sector. The Commercial fleet has grown by over 30,000 under his leadership, with the largest Mobile Service Unit team in the sector. We have strong customer retention and have seen impressive growth of new and prestigious customers such as Travis Perkins, Warburtons, Wales & West Utilities, Wincanton, and Amazon.”

The organisation has a clear and focused strategy that provides a strong foundation for sustainable growth, and I’m excited to work with colleagues across the business to bring our customer-focused vision to life. I’m confident we can build on the great work already underway and help shape the next chapter.”
