Star has made several new appointments to its senior leadership team with Phil Tomlinson, David Bournes and Dave Faulkner joining the company.

Prior to that he served at Ashfield Commercial and Medical Services for eight  years and worked industry-side at Janssen-Cilag as a senior regional business manager.

Also joining full-service outsourcing and resourcing firm Star, which is part of the Uniphar Group, is David Bournes (pictured left) who takes up a role as business development manager.

Bournes joins Star from Ashfield In2Focus, where he was head of operations, prior to which he spent nine years at Merck Sharp & Dohme, rising to national manager of its primary care joint venture with Schering-Plough.

Finally, Star has recruited Dave Faulkner (pictured bottom right) to be general manager of its new Dublin-based outsourcing and resourcing team in Ireland.

He too joins Star from Ashfield, where he was most recently Ashfield Healthcare's business unit director in the UK.

Faulkner's industry career saw him start with Pharmacia before moving to Bristol-Myers Squibb, where he held a national coaching role before moving to regional management.
