The History of Zenopa

Mark history page

Zenopa was formed in 1991 by Mark Denton. The company, originally called ‘Zenith’, was founded on the philosophy of ‘Recruitment with Integrity’. Since then, Zenopa has continued to develop and expand, which has been supported through the uptake of quality systems that enable consistent customer delivery.

As Zenopa evolved, so too did its service offering, expanding to provide deeper and more strategic partnership for leaders across the industry. This evolution led to a rebrand, shifting from ‘Recruitment with Integrity’ to ‘Talent Driven, Culture Focused’, reflecting a broader and more forward-looking approach. Underpinning this approach is Zenopa’s 90-degree model, which enables excellence throughout the recruitment process.

Where we started

Over the last 30+ years, Zenopa has developed from a risky start-up to a high growth, high performance, market leader.
