We're thrilled to announce a significant change in leadership at TDS Group, the leading provider of tenancy deposit protection and dispute resolution services in the UK. Fay Selvan has been appointed as the new Chair of the TDS Group, succeeding the dedicated Martin Partington, who served as chair for an impressive 14 years.
A proven track record
Fay Selvan brings a wealth of experience to her new role. With a strong background in chairing Boards and Committees, she has previously held positions such as Chair of Jigsaw Housing Group, Trafford Healthcare NHS Trust, and the International Network of Street Newspapers.

Selvan's appointment couldn't come at a more crucial time for TDS Group as it continues with its purpose to raise standards in the private rented sector (PRS) across the UK.
