At the beleaguered Scottish state-owned shipyard company of Ferguson Marine, the chairman at the centre of the (CalMac) ferry-building fiasco has stepped down.
Current chairman Alistair Mackenzie and board member John Hudson are both stepping down from their roles at Ferguson Marine (Port Glasgow) for personal reasons.
Ferguson Marine said their roles are being advertised along with an additional non-executive director position to "strengthen the board’s commercial and legal expertise".
Appointed by ministers after the Scottish Government took control at the end of 2019 it was said they and the rest of the board would "bring a wealth of diverse and extensive experience to the business".
They were appointed after the recruitment of controversial £793,000-a-year turnaround director Tim Hair after the shipyard went into administration and who announced he was standing down at the end of last year.
The HeraldScotsman has more on the story.
