Former Driver Group CEO leaves board

STEPHEN Driver, the former chief executive and chairman of construction and engineering consultancy Driver Group, has resigned from the board.

Mr Driver has left his position as non executive director at the Lancashire  firm with immediate effect.
 
The departure was part of a plan instigated at the time of a board restructure in 2011, the group said in a stock market statement.
 
Mr Driver was instrumental in the group’s growth and development through to its entry on to the AIM market in 2005 and subsequently as chief executive and executive chairman through to 2011.
 
He will continue in a part time role as director of business development for the DriverTrett business as an employee of Driver Consult Ltd.
 
Dave Webster, chief executive, said: “I would like to personally thank Stephen for providing the opportunity to join the Company in 1999 and supporting my development through to the position I have today.

“Now is the right time for this final transition and Stephen leaves the board with the company performing at the top end of management’s expectations and nicely positioned for the remainder of this current financial year and beyond.”
