CMI head quits after sweeping cut-backs

The regional head of Clerical Medical International (CMI) has resigned in the wake of recent sweeping cut-backs.

David Mackenzie said there was no link between his decision to leave the company and its decision to more than halve its staff from a peak of 12.

Mr Mackenzie said he was considering a number of offers.

'I don't know where I'm going, but I decided to move because it was time for a change,' he said.

Mr Mackenzie said he would look for a job with a more regional focus.

He is likely to be replaced by Mark Saunders, a director and actuary for CMI Financial Management Services.
