Kings will join the UK property management specialist, owned by Places for People, on 3 January 2017, when she will take over from John Midgley, who will remain with the business. She has performed operational roles at Somerfield and the Co-Operative before moving to Compass Group in 2009. “By 2025 almost a quarter of households will be living in private rented accommodation,” she said. “Tenants now expect a quality product and a professional, customer-focused experience, and our clients look to Touchstone to provide this.” • To send feedback, e-mail alex.peace@estatesgazette.com or tweet @egalexpeace or @estatesgazette
