Within his role at Chevin Steve\u2019s responsibilities include providing industry and system knowledge to support marketing, sales, and product updates.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a tremendous privilege to work with Steve over these past 30 years. During that time both Steve and Chevin have grown and transformed \u2013 into industry leading champions. Steve, who has spent time working in (almost) every team or department at Chevin, is now uniquely skilled and positioned to deliver his current role of Global Product Evangelist \u2013 His \u201capprenticeship\u201d has seen him travel the world, spending time in Fleet Offices and Workshops on many continents, with clients operating in different languages and under very different legislation, helping to resolve the very broad range of challenges faced by our clients in these wildly-varying circumstances. Always smiling, always ready to help, and an invaluable member of the Chevin family.<\/h3>\n \n

When asked about his time at Chevin, Steve stated:<\/p>\n

\u2018When I joined Chevin 30 years ago, the business, and world was very different.\u00a0 From a small office with 2 people, to a global enterprise serving clients around the world I have seen many changes.\u00a0 Remember, when I first started working at Chevin, the internet wasn\u2019t even a thing!<\/em><\/p>\n

My career has taken me thorough many roles, from office admin, through support, development, sales, project management, product management, and to my current position as Global Product Evangelist!\u00a0The diversity in the people I interact with, and the businesses we work with means that the job has never been boring.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that while technology has advanced, the fundamental requirements of fleet management haven\u2019t changed too much, which I guess is why, as a provider of flexible solutions to core fleet management issues we\u2019ve always been at the forefront of the fleet software industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

Even though the business is now significantly larger than it was in 1993, it is still a great place to work, and to grow, and unsurprisingly, I can\u2019t see myself working anywhere else!<\/em><\/p>\n

30 years has flown by, I guess like somebody once said, If you find a job you love, you\u2019ll never work a day in your life!\u00a0 Being part of the Chevin story has been an amazing adventure, and long may it continue.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Congratulations Steve!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
