CONTROVERSIAL engineering and support services group Jarvis has announced that the boss of its accommodation services business is stepping down.
Jarvis said it had accepted the resignation of Andrew Sutton, the chief executive of the division, with regret.
The firm declined to give reasons for the departure of Mr Sutton, who joined the company about ten years ago.
A spokesman said: ''He has decided to resign from the board and that is obviously a decision for him."
The accommodation services business has joined Jarvis's rail business - which is at the centre of the Potters Bar rail crash inquiry - in attracting adverse publicity.
In December, the division faced criticism after failing to finish work on time at five of eight schools involved in a £55m improvement scheme on the Wirral, Merseyside.
Jarvis pulled out of track maintenance contracts last year following its involvement in several rail incidents, including derailments in London and Rotherham and faulty track replacement work near Manchester.
