Fife-based Interior fittings firm Havelock Europa has revealed its Chairman David MacLellan is to step down.

In addition, Alastair Kerr has resigned as Director with effect from 10 June.

Speaking at the company's Annual General Meeting last week, Mr MacLellan said: "The Board is pleased to report that the management actions taken in late 2015 to restructure and right size the business are making a positive contribution. We continue to work on simplifying the business and maximising the customer experience, both of which are key factors in helping us achieve the medium-term goal of diversifying our customer base and growing the business.

"Having been on the Board of Havelock for six years and having been chairman for four of those years, during which time I have overseen a number of important developments including the appointment of a new CEO, a new FD and a refreshed senior management team, I feel that now is a good time for me to step down.

"To this end, I have asked my colleagues under the direction of Richard Sweetman to commence the search for an external candidate to assume the role of Chairman and I would hope that this can be concluded by the end of this year."
