\"Osborne <\/p>\n

\n

Osborne chief executive Mark Hoyland is to exit the role after less than six months, with former interim boss Dave Smith returning to the helm of a slimmed-down group.<\/p>\n

The Surrey-headquartered development and contracting giant announced that Hoyland, who only took the top job last November<\/a>, would step down to the role of adviser.<\/p>\n

He will be replaced by Smith, who ran Osborne on an interim basis for about a year after the departure of the long-serving Andy Steele in late 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the company is selling offsite manufacturer Innovare Systems to Bowmer + Kirkland.<\/p>\n

The firms have agreed a deal for the Coventry-based specialist, which had a \u00a311.6m turnover in the year to September 2021 and employed 60 people.<\/p>\n

Innovare staff will have the opportunity to transfer to Bowmer + Kirkland, which has its headquarters in Derbyshire.<\/p>\n

Osborne said it was selling the offsite firm to focus on its core business. The Surrey company sold its infrastructure business to private equity in 2021<\/a>, a move it later credited with boosting its use of offsite construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chairman Andrew Osborne said: \u201cToday\u2019s strategic changes will ensure our core business can be successful in the years ahead. Everyone at Osborne is proud of Innovare\u2019s growth and I know the company will continue to thrive under its new ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cConstruction is the heart of Osborne Group, the order book for 2023 is strong and I look forward to making further announcements about new schemes and delivery of existing projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith said he was \u201cdelighted\u201d to become permanent chief executive, while Hoyland said he was \u201clooking forward to providing strategic support to the board\u201d.<\/p>\n

Osborne made a loss of almost \u00a315m in the 18 months to September 2020 before returning to profit in 2021<\/a>, largely due to the sale of its infrastructure division.<\/p>\n

Bowmer + Kirkland said it had been working with Innovare for \u201ca number of years\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur imminent acquisition of Innovare assets, people and brand is the right thing for us to do and, now that we are all under one roof, will be a major benefit for our clients,\u201d said chairman Jack Kirkland. \u201cThe strength of the group will help Innovare fulfil its potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
