Davis Service Group swoops for board finance experts

Finance experts have been appointed to the Davis Service Group in a boardroom reshuffle.

Iain Ferguson, David Lowden and Andrew Wood have joined the textile maintenance business as non-executive directors.

Ferguson sits on PwC's advisory board, and non-execs at Balfour Beatty and Greggs.

Lowden has served as group FD, COO and then chief executive at Taylor Nelson Sofres.

Wood has been group FD of BBA Aviation, which he will step down from in April. The chartered management accountant will be chairman of its audit committee.

Philip Rogerson and René Schuster are stepping down from the board.

"I am sure they will make a significant contribution to the business and work closely with Peter Ventress, our CEO, and his management team to take Davis to the next stage of its development," said Davis chairman Christopher Kemball.
