Norris continues as Jarvis chairman

After failing to oust Ken Livingston as Mayor of London, Steven Norris has announced that he will be continuing as chairman of Jarvis.

If the voters in the capital had given Norris the thumbs up, he would have stood down from his post at Jarvis, the group having a contingency plan in place to meet with such a scenario.

But while Norris stays, Robert Johnson is on the move. He is the chief executive of the Jarvis Accommodation Services division and only took on the position in February when he succeeded to a post that was previously held by Andrew Sutton.

Kevin Hyde, Jarvis Group chief executive, said: "I am sorry that Rob has decided to move on and wish him well for the future." Johnson is 46.

Moving into the hot seat comes Robert Wallace, 54, who was deputy chief executive for Skanska UK from 1998 to 2003. Wallace had earlier spent 13 years in Hong Kong as finance director for Gammon Skanska.

Wallace has been running his own international consultancy business for the last 18 months.
