Bruno Dupety has stepped down from his role as chief executive of VINCI Construction UK.

Despite resigning, Mr Dupety will continue to be involved in a few major projects.

Since leading the company from late 2014, he has overseen solid performances and leaves the firm with a strong order book for 2019.

"With the support of the wider VINCI group, an excellent team and the commitment of our people, we managed to turn the business around," he said. "The company has improved a lot, in terms of delivering its services, quality, productivity, digitalisation and creating a stronger culture and embedding better decision making. The business is in a good place – as a reward of our efforts, our Building division, and our Facilities management division had the best year ever in 2018. Now is a good time to make a change."

I wish to address special thanks to Bruno, who has managed the company with a very clear and focused business sense. We will continue to deliver our services to our customers with the same principles of excellence."
