Construction Manager reports that Interserve’s managing director of UK construction Gordon Kew (pictured left) is to leave the business at the end of next month as the company embarks on a restructure that will see it merge its UK and international divisions to created a combined construction arm.

The new construction division will be led by George Franks (pictured right), who currently runs Interserve Construction International division.

"Bringing our UK and international construction and support services businesses together will help us to reduce complexity, support the transfer of people and skills and develop a clear and consistent value propositions for customers wherever they are in the world."
