First South East & Midlands Structural Changes

First announced on the 4th October 2013 that, as part of its strategy to ensure that its businesses are responsive to the needs of customers and other local stakeholders, it has restructured its South East and Midlands Region.

With effect from 1 November, the region will be split into three separate business units, each headed by a managing director who will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer UK Bus. The three units are

• Midlands business unit consisting of Leicester, Wyvern and Potteries
• Eastern Counties business unit consisting of Norfolk and Suffolk
• Essex business unit consisting of all Essex operations

The existing General Manager structure "and the depots reporting into them" is largely unaffected.

For the majority of employees, it will be business as usual with little or no change to job roles.
