Vistry removes COO role

Vistry director Earl Sibley is leaving the housebuilder after it decided to remove the chief operating officer role from the business. Sibley, who joined Vistry in April 2015, will step down from the company on 31 December. The COO role has been removed to reduce the length of reporting lines to the chief executive. Chairman and chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: “Earl has been an integral part of our operational and executive team and his leadership and contribution have been significant in helping to establish Vistry as a leading housebuilding and partnerships business. Having worked with Earl since I joined Bovis in 2017, I am very grateful for his dedication, support and hard work during his time with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him, on behalf of the board and colleagues across Vistry, for his commitment and contribution during his time here. He will leave with our best wishes for the future.”
