Scott out in CIOB reshuffle

The financial director of the Chartered Institute of Building, David Scott, has lost his job in a management reshuffle after five years in the job.

An internal memo distributed throughout the CIOB this week by chief executive Keith Banbury states that Scott, 56, is leaving to pursue other interests. But Scott admitted to Contract Journal that he had been sacked. 'You could put it that way,' he said. 'We have had some disagreement.'

Scott would not elaborate on the reasons for his dismissal. The CIOB's Julian Barlow said: 'David has left as a result of the reshuffling We will now advertise for a new single post to replace both David and our secretary, Frank Lettins, who is retiring.'
