Restaurant Associates has revealed six strategic promotions within its team. At Rapport, Hayley Barnard has become business director, Daniel O’Hehir, director of client operations, and Sonia Louro, head of client partnerships. At Restaurant Associates Group, meanwhile, Luxey Dayanandan, has become head of ESG, while Stephanie Robertson is the new head of experience.
