Bannister said the changes, which will see Tay write off £10m-12m in writedowns, reorganisation and redundancy costs for the year to 30 June 1999, will continue for an unspecified period.
In a statement, chairman John Maunders – who joined Tay in March after a management reshuffle – said the housebuilder had suffered a “serious lack of management controls” and had lacked “any appropriate reporting procedures”.
A number of redundancies have been made, including joint founder Norman Stubbs and non-executive director Jack Green.
