Dove flies out of Wolseley
The head of European real estate at Leamington Spa plumbing and building materials group Wolseley has left the company. Paul Dove joined Wolseley after 17 years at Littlewoods in 2006 and took on the European role in 2008. Property industry magazines are suggesting that his departure is a result of the recession slowing down the group’s potential property transactions. Wolseley has also been involved in a cost-cutting exercise. In January, it sold the Irish arm of its business to WIBHM, a private-investor-backed company, for £23.8m.
