Retail specialist Simons Group has streamlined its senior management structure in an attempt to bring its top directors closer to its clients.

It has stripped out a layer of management below the group board which comprised the 15 members of the developments, design and construction boards.

There will be no redundancies but a Simons source said the 15 would now 鈥渃oncentrate more on their day jobs鈥�.

The group board, which has five directors, including chief executive Paul Hodgkinson, will continue to operate as before.

Hodgkinson said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e read the market and we鈥檝e taken steps to tighten our business so that we can commit to our customers鈥� growth plans as the recovery picks up.鈥�
