Zenith Group Bolsters with New Hires
EDINBURGH-based Zenith Group has bolstered its team with three new hires.
The announcement comes as the provider of specialist access and repair solutions marks its 20th anniversary.
Elaine Gilhooley, formally marketing manager at construction consultancy Thomas & Adamson, takes on the newly created role of head of marketing at Zenith.
The firm has also strengthened its engineering team with two new hires. Brad Findlay joins as product designer, bringing with him a range of specialist skills to develop Zenith’s design concepts into products, and Haarith Bakkich joins in the role of engineer, bringing a wealth of experience in the design and inspection of civil and structural infrastructure.
Colin McCurdy, MD of Zenith, said, “Our people are at the heart of everything we do – they are the foundation on which our success is built. When Zenith was founded just over 20 years ago, I wanted to make it a place that provided everyone with the opportunity to build lasting, fulfilling careers. The success of Zenith is a result of hard work, commitment, and the talented team we have, which has grown our business significantly.
“Just as the capabilities of Zenith have changed over the years, so have our skills and knowledge requirements. Over time we have come to realise there is a bigger market share we could be taking advantage of, so the recruitment of a Head of Marketing, along with the engineering appointments, who can be at the forefront of the company’s next growth phase, is an exciting prospect. Elaine brings 30 years of experience from a diverse range of marketing roles, and I am delighted to have her onboard.”
Elaine Gilhooley, newly appointed head of marketing, added, “I am excited to be working with Colin and the exceptional people of Zenith. Something special has been created here; you can feel it as soon as you enter the building. Zenith’s success is a result of its incredible team, which is evident in the amount of repeat and referral business, however there is a bigger portion of the market yet to find out about us, which is where myself and my team come in.
“With Colin’s plans for the business, it is an exciting time to join Zenith. I am looking forward to utilising my skills and experience as Zenith looks towards the future.”
