Services reshuffle

INTERSERVE has appointed its first woman boss – pinching a division chief from a rival.

Debbie White, 54, chief executive of government and healthcare worldwide at Sodexo, is to take the helm at the support services firm, replacing Adrian Ringrose.

The mum-of-three will work alongside Ringrose, who announced plans to step down after 13 years at the firm last November. White takes control of the company on September 1.

It is thought that Cambridge graduate White, who has a strong track record of success in running complex businesses in the support services sector, will help drive Interserve forward.
