Kier's O'Farrell steps down

Date: Thursday 05 Jun 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Kier Group announced that Michael O'Farrell, the executive director responsible for the housing division, is stepping down from the board and his executive role with immediate effect.

The housebuilder and contractor did not comment on the reasons for O'Farrell’s departure.

Kier said last month that it expects to meet profit expectations this year barring any further significant market setbacks for its residential business, where reservations are down 35% on last year and margins are under pressure. It added that it also expects fewer sales from its housing business this year.
