Property maintenance specialist, DMA Group, has made two key appointments to strengthen its commercial team.
Rob Ware has been promoted to the newly created role of Head of Commercial, with Kris Fowell succeeding him as Head of Account Management.
In his new position Ware will lead on customer and supply chain contracts, ensuring DMA Group balances the delivery of high-quality services to customers while maintaining robust control of contract terms, risk and commercial performance.
Ware has worked for DMA Group since 2012, having previously engaged with the company as an air conditioning engineer contractor. Since joining he has held a series of project management and commercial roles, most recently as Head of Account Management.
Ware said: “Having worked within the organisation for an extended period I have the benefit of understanding the high standardsset by our sales and operations teams, which will allow me to provide a link for serving new and valued existing customers.
“I like to be hands on when working with customers, many of whom I have known for more than a decade. I am proud to have been part of the evolution and growth of DMA Group for nearly 15 years and believe that over the coming years we can be even more successful.”
Fowell has been promoted to his new role having joined DMA Group in March 2025 as a customer account manager. He started his career more than 20 years ago by working as an electrician, before progressing to managerial roles in electrical services and facilities management.
Fowell said: “I am pleased to take on this new role at a time when DMA Group is entering a rapid growth stage, with a range of opportunities ahead of us to grow including developing new relationships in sectors such as education.
“With the focus of the new appointments, we can build on the reputation of DMA Group as a true partner for customers rather than simply being seen as a service provider.”
Wendy Bennett, DMA Group Managing Director, said of the promotions: “We are pleased to appoint Rob and Kris to their new roles following strong recruitment processes which included internal and external candidates.
“We created the Head of Commercial position after identifying an opportunity to create a new role to oversee our work for customers while ensuring our contract governance is met.
“DMA Group is keen to develop the talent we have within the business, so it is pleasing to support two colleagues to continue their career pathways.”
With its head office in Rochester, Kent, DMA Group has recently won notable contracts including the hard facilities management accounts for Thurrock Council and the London Borough of Sutton.
