BEN appoints new CEO

Zara Ross is BEN’s new CEO

David Main has retired as chief executive officer of BEN, and the non-profit organisation supporting those employed in the automotive industry has named Zara Ross his successor. Ross brings over 30 years of experience in the charity sector to her new role; most recently, she served as director of transformation and development at the St Monica Trust, a body that provides accommodation, care and support for older people in the south west of England.

“We are thrilled that Zara has officially joined the BEN team,” states Robin Woolcock, chairman and president of the Board of Trustees at BEN. “She brings a wealth of experience to the organisation, especially given her strong background in the charity sector and her in-depth knowledge of the care industry. It was extremely important for us to appoint an individual with a care background to the role as we believe a deep understanding of the sector will be instrumental in developing and driving BEN’s future strategy.

“Zara has the energy and integrity to lead strategic change as well as a proven record of motivating and managing staff, through combining care and business values in the management of not-for-profit organisations,” Woolcock continues. “Over the past two years, BEN has been through a period of significant change and we believe that Zara is the right person to continue with the good work we have started. Finally, I would like to sincerely thank David Main for his tremendous service and significant contribution to BEN over the years as well as wishing Zara all the best in her new role.”

“I’m delighted to have officially started in my new role of CEO at BEN,” shares Ross. “I understand the important journey that the organisation has already embarked on to support more people in the automotive industry. I’m also committed to helping BEN achieve its future potential and I believe there is a great opportunity for growth and development in all areas of the organisation. I’m already impressed by the passion and commitment that my new colleagues demonstrate and I look forward to helping continue BEN’s success in supporting the automotive industry.”
