The restructure will see Fortus’s Midlands and East regions join business services firm TC Group, allowing its executive board to focus on “exponential growth in the North of England and into Scotland”.

Craig Herbert, who is set to become Fortus chief executive, said: “This is a strategic move for all parties involved and I would like to thank the team in the Midlands and East for their positive contribution to Fortus’s success since our launch.
