Date: 08 February 2023 | Author: Sean Keywood
Chevin Fleet Solutions has announced the appointment of Gary Thompson as CEO.
He replaces Ashley Sowerby, Chevin's original founder, who is moving to the role of executive chairman.
Thompson originally joined Chevin last year as COO.
Sowerby said: "Following 32 wonderful years as founder and CEO of Chevin, I am proud to have built a world-class business providing solutions to some of the largest fleets globally, having started from very humble domestic UK operations.
"Over recent years I have assembled a very capable team and operational board, who have laid very strong foundations for further growth, through investment in people, process and product.
"It is important to further empower the operational board as they drive the business forward. This change enables me to step back from day-to-day operations whilst continuing to offer support on strategic decisions and product direction."
Before joining Chevin, new CEO Thompson held a variety of leadership positions, including COO of a global SAAS company.
He said: "It has been a privilege to work alongside Ashley and I am looking forward to continuing the work with our talented, passionate and innovative team.
"We are in a strong position to meet the challenges and opportunities in this industry, using technology to drive high value insights and an exceptional customer experience.
"Ashley has built a financially strong company with an excellent operational board, and I am confident that the foundations and strategy are in place to drive further innovation, growth and customer value."
