DMTC welcomes Jane Tisdall

DMTC is pleased to announce that Jane Tisdall has commenced with DMTC in the role of Financial Controller. Jane will be familiar to many DMTC stakeholders, having worked with DMTC through DMTC’s external accountants for a number of years providing a range of services and advice in the finance area. In recent months, Jane has been invaluable in bridging the gap during our search to fill the vacant financial controller position. The selection process was very competitive and DMTC is delighted to have someone on board who knows our business intimately and will undoubtedly make a smooth transition from external part-time to leading our internal finance and accounting functions.

Jane brings with her an extensive private client services background and post-degree public practice certifications. She has now formally commenced with DMTC in the role, so on behalf of the entire DMTC Management Team and Stakeholder community, we warmly welcome Jane to the team.
