Commercial fleet services provider, Fraikin, has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Craig Douglas as Chief Financial & Transformation Officer – a new role within the business – alongside the promotion of John Cunningham to Chief Operating Officer.
In his new dual role, Douglas will be tasked with enhancing Fraikin’s long-term sustainability goals, while ensuring its commitment to continuous improvement. His remit also includes accelerating the implementation of strategic initiatives to unlock new opportunities for growth.

“Through digital innovation, smarter asset management and evolving service models, we’re creating sustainable and scalable pathways for growth. I’m excited to be working with a team that’s deeply committed to excellence and to genuinely helping our customers.”
