The Kent builder that brought in former Laing O鈥橰ourke director Steve Hollingshead as a non-exec earlier this year is beginning the search for a new chief executive.

Nick Yandle (pictured), who turned 61 last month, is leaving Gallagher Group at the end of the year after 13 years at the business which is based in Aylesford. He joined from Geoffrey Osborne where he was a director.

Gallagher chairman Pat Gallagher said: 鈥淲hilst he is stepping down from his full time executive duties with us at the end of this year, we are delighted that we will be able to access Nick鈥檚 experience on an advisory basis beyond that time.鈥�

Hollingshead, who was previously chief executive of north London-based J Murphy before stepping down last December, said the search for Yandle鈥檚 replacement had already begun and would be announced later this year.

Gallagher reported a pre-tax profit of 拢7.3m on turnover of 拢60m in the year to September 2017.
