Graeme Jenkins, fleet sales manager at Smart UK

What is your ambition in your current job role?

To build an EV fleet proposition through Smart, particularly with regards to connectivity.

What job did you want to do when growing up?

I was really into medical research when I was younger. It really excited me and it still does.

The best takeaway food is?

Chinese. There’s a really good Chinese takeaway near me and I often think it’s the only reason my kids come to see me!

What’s the proudest moment in your career?

During my time at Suzuki when we won an award for most improved manufacturer.

Favourite James Bond?

Sean Connery – a really great guy with charisma and maturity.

If money was no object, what’s the first thing you would buy?

It’s got to be a super yacht.

Name three cars in your dream garage

For the noise – and everything else – a Triumph Stag convertible. Then also a Bentley Continental GT Convertible and – leaving the best until last – a Smart #1.

The biggest challenges facing fleets at the moment?

Easing of manufacturer supply, infrastructure for electric vehicles and a successful migration to a truly carbon-neutral solution.

Your dream holiday… Where in the world are you?

I’m in the South Pacific on a cruise. I thought about this question, shut my eyes and I was there for about three or four hours!

Night in or night out?

Night in – I like watching films and documentaries and also like a bit of DIY.

Supermarket of choice?

Waitrose – nice and convenient as it’s just around the corner from my house.

What car do you drive?

Mercedes-Benz EQA. That’s my company car until the Smart #1     is available!

Tea, coffee or other?

Tea – with milk and two sugars.

Books or magazines?

Magazines.

Your idol in life and work?

A guy I’ve met personally, the former England rugby captain Martin Johnson. He was an outstanding captain and inspirational leader, both in life and work. He just commands respect when he walks into a room – not just his physical size, but the way he carries himself.
