Former CEO resigns from Billington board

Insider Media reported that former chief executive of Barnsley based structural steel and construction safety specialist Billington Holdings has resigned from the board. Mr Stephen George Thomas Fareham has been associated with the group for more than 50 years. He served as chief executive from October 2006 to January 2015 and was managing director of structural steel construction subsidiary Billington Structures from 1991 to 2014. Mr Fareham has resigned from his position as non-executive director with immediate effect.

Mr Peter Hems, outgoing non- executive chairman of Billington, said that "It has become evident that, following the recently announced board changes, and in order to comply with corporate governance best practice, it will be necessary for Billington to introduce some additional financial expertise to the non-executive director team. Therefore, Steve has decided that it was the right time to stand down, thereby enabling the company to commence the search for a replacement with the relevant financial expertise. With the recent addition of Mr Ian Lawson to the board, Billington already has a good strength and depth of industry experience at the necessary level.”

Mr Mark Smith, chief executive of Billington, added that "The retirement of Steve brings the end of an era for the Billington Group. The company and I personally owe him a great deal of thanks for his hard work, dedication and diligence over his tenure in office. We wish Steve a very long and happy retirement."

Cleveland's Martin Sweeney resigns from Ohio House

COLUMBUS, Ohio–Democratic state Rep. Martin Sweeney of Cleveland has resigned from the Ohio House after two terms in office, according to a resignation letter published Thursday.

Sweeney was set to leave the House after this year anyway after he unsuccessfully ran for the Ohio Senate earlier this year. His daughter, Bride Rose Sweeney, is expected to be elected next month to succeed him in House District 14, which covers parts of Cleveland and suburbs such as Middleburgh Heights, Brooklyn, and Parma Heights.

"This decision was made after great reflection and was not taken lightly," Sweeney wrote in his resignation letter to House Speaker Ryan Smith, which was published in Thursday's House Journal. Sweeney's resignation took effect last Monday.
