Morgan Sindall managing director Graham Shennan has been made redundant after 12 years at the contractor.

The firm, which last week issued a profit warning due to problems faced with contracts in its London and South business, said it was creating “a more efficient company”.

Shennan has been with the business since 2002 and took on his current role when the group merged its construction and infrastructure divisions in 2010.

The move will now see civil engineering head Nick Fletcher and construction boss Pat Boyle report directly to group chief executive John Morgan.

A Morgan Sindall spokesperson said: “We’ve taken a detailed look at how we run the construction and infrastructure division in order to create a more efficient company for growth.

“Pat and Nick are working closely together to deliver complex, integrated projects for our clients, which draw on our construction and infrastructure expertise. As a result of these changes, the role of managing director of Morgan Sindall has been made redundant and Graham Shennan has left the business.”
