Mark Jannaway, co-founder and chairman of Engineius, added: ‘Eight years ago, this company was founded from scratch with an idea, determination, and an unrelenting belief that we could build something distinctive in the automotive industry.
‘Chris made that idea a reality by guiding Engineius to be the market-leading vehicle movement business in the UK.”
