Serco's New Directors: Who are Mike Clasper, Tamara Ingram and Rachel Lomax?

Serco has appointed Mike Clasper, Tamara Ingram and Rachel Lomax, as non-executive directors with effect from 3 March 2014, only three days after announcing that it has appointed Rupert Soames as chief executive officer.

"I am delighted that we have secured the services of three individuals who bring a broad range of skills and experience to complement Serco's current non-executive directors," said Alastair Lyons, non-executive Chairman, in a statement.
