DAS names first ever chief operating officer

Legal expenses insurer DAS has appointed Paul Timmins as its first ever chief operating officer.

DAS Group chief executive Paul Asplin said: “The creation of this very senior position is a reflection on the remarkable growth that the Group has achieved over the years.

“Paul will be working directly with me in a number of areas, especially those related to new projects. The high level nature of this appointment has meant that Paul has also been appointed to the board as a director.”

Timmins joined DAS in 2008 as head of compliance and risk management, later becoming head of risk and HR.

Timmins added: “I’m delighted to be the first chief operating officer of the DAS Group and am already working on very interesting projects that will aid our continued strong growth.”
