Two senior leaders have left the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS).
Executive chair Amit Oberoi (pictured) and chief strategy officer Alex Minett have both departed the organisation.
Oberoi became non-executive chair in July 2022 and executive chair the following year.
His directorship was terminated on Companies House this morning (12 August).
Minett took on his role, which was not a company director position, in January this year.
A CCS spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Amit Oberoi and Alex Minett are no longer employed by CCS.
“CCS continues to focus on its core strategic objective of raising standards in the construction industry.”
The firm would not comment on the reasons for the departures.
Construction News understands the scheme is currently being led by a managing director, Desiree Blamey, who has moved up from her previous role of partnerships director.
It is unclear whether the organisation will recruit for a new executive chair, but it has closed applications after advertising for a replacement for the partnerships director position.
The not-for-profit body, which is ultimately owned by the Construction Products Association and Construction Industry Council, operates a voluntary scoring system for construction site standards and a public complaints service.
Its revenue model is built entirely around registration fees from participating entities (sites, companies and suppliers), making it self-financing and not dependent on external funding.
According to its latest accounts, the scheme made a loss of £78,700 last year on a turnover of £5.3m in 2023.
Directors’ emoluments rose to £219,000, up from the £84,200 paid out the previous year.
Last year, CCS made headlines after summarily axing 20 of its monitors – people carrying out inspections of registered sites.
Oberoi said at the time that the high rate of insolvencies in the sector had hit the scheme’s finances.
The former executive chair, a previous director of Deloitte in Australia and a Lendlease manager, according to his LinkedIn profile, also joined the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity as a trustee in April but stood down in mid-July.
A spokesperson for the charity told CN on Friday that they were unable to comment on the reason for this.
Oberoi has been approached for comment.
