Lawrence Churchill, FSCS chairman, said: “I am pleased that we have been able to appoint two people of such high calibre board.
"They have a wealth of experience that will benefit both consumers and the firms to whom we are accountable."
Churchill added: “I would also like to pay tribute to Ros Reston and Tony Ashford for their exemplary service to the FSCS during the height of the financial crisis. They brought a huge amount of experience and insight to the work of the scheme at a pivotal point in our history.”
