STOP PRESS: URC Hull Citybuild executive leaves

The chief executive of urban regeneration company (URC) Hull Citybuild is to leave the organisation to take up a role at government regeneration agency English Partnerships (EP). Neil Bradbury is to join EP early in the new year as regional director for the North-East and Yorkshire and Humber regions. Bradbury successfully led Hull's bid for URC status and has been chief executive there since July 2002. The search for Bradbury's successor will start immediately.
