CDG finds role for Simmonds

Jane Simmonds, the former Fitch London chief executive, is to join the five-strong board of Conran Design Group in August as client services director. She will be responsible for the ‘quality standards’ of Conran Design Group’s client handling, says managing director David Worthington.

Discussions with Simmonds (pictured), was previously executive director at both Enterprise IG and Landor Associates, were ‘very recent and rapid’, Worthington adds, following her hasty departure from Fitch London in April.
