John Gittins, who was based out of the company’s Bradford office, left as head of the north east region at the start of this month to seek opportunities elsewhere.

His duties are now being covered by former Scottish regional manager Andy Mallice who has taken on a new role of Northern regional managing director, responsible for Scotland and the north east.

ISG’s Jim Parker, managing director of the North West continues to run his region, unaffected by the shake-up.

Gittins, who was based out of the company’s Bradford office, transferred from Totty Construction Group when it was bought by ISG back in 2005.

In June, ISG said it was scaling down the UK construction business, particularly in the Eastern and Midlands regions, where the business units were being reorganised to reflect the current market conditions.

The latest changes suggest the rest of the regional ISG construction businesses are now coming under scrutiny.
