Another three directors have left Morgan Sindall as part of an ongoing shake-up of the contractor鈥檚 management team.

Last week it emerged .

Dixon has been followed out of Morgan Sindall by Martin Pitt, the national commercial director, Andy Fookes, commercial director for the London region, and Dave Diboll, operations director for London.

In a statement Morgan Sindall said the changes were made to facilitate 鈥渞eshaping its commercial operations and streamlining its business across the South and West of England.鈥�

Morgan Sindall said it was currently backfilling Pitt鈥檚 role. The firm has promoted Sharon Chrippes, formerly commercial director for its northern construction business, to become commercial director of its construction and design division, reporting to the division鈥檚 managing director Pat Boyle.

The firm is also recruiting a new commercial director for its infrastructure division, who will report to the division鈥檚 managing director, Nick Fletcher, and this new recruit and Chrippes will take over Pitt鈥檚 responsibilities, Morgan Sindall said.

The changes come as Morgan Sindall restructures its construction business. Outgoing London boss Dixon鈥檚 replacement, former Kier director Ian Cheung, has responsibility for a much wider regional scope, covering the whole of southern England, London, and south Wales.

Morgan Sindall said as a result of this restructuring Fookes and Diboll鈥檚 roles were 鈥減laced under consultation鈥�, although it is understood both have already left the business.

Morgan Sindall鈥檚 other construction regions are led by Harry Thorburn (Scotland), Dave Smith (north) and John Homer (east).

Boyle said: 鈥淚n ensuring we are both efficient and effective in our management teams, it makes sense for us to streamline the South and South West construction business units into one, which allows for clearer reporting and better use of our experience, resource and market intelligence.

鈥淚an Cheung, myself and the team are excited about the challenge and opportunities ahead. We are also delighted to see Sharon promoted - she will bring a lot of insight and fresh drive to the role in construction and design.鈥�
