A DAS spokesman said: “DAS are pleased to welcome Kate Banks as Group Director of HR and Legal Services and Tony Coram as Group Director of Customer Operations and IT.

“Their respective skills and experience will be valuable additions to the DAS senior management team when they join us in due course.”
