Vinci Construction U.K. has reshuffled top management with the departure, earlier this month, of CEO John Stanion, who has retired after 22 years. Named to succeed him as CEO and chairman is Bruno Dupety, who previously led Vinci group business Soletanche Freyssinet. Leaving the firm is Operations Director Andrew Ridley-Barker and Commercial Director Paul Tuplin, whose departures are directly linked to Dupety’s appointment, according to one U.K.-based construction publication. Neither executive is to be replaced, says the U.K. report. Chris Hamer has been elevated to managing director of the U.K. firm's buildings business, and Julian Gatward is promoted to managing director of Vinci's Taylor Woodrow unit. Formerly deputy managing director, he will succeed Graham Stanley, who will retire at year's end.
