Nick Jones has become the third member of the RMIF’s board to leave in as many months.

The human resources director followed sales and marketing director Gary Elliott out the doors of 201 Great Portland Street on December 31.

This comes just two months after chief executive Matthew Carrington stepped down. The management board now consists of Kevin Waterman, interim managing director, Sue Robinson, NFDA director, and Ray Holloway, independent member associations director.

Waterman says: “After the RMIF sold ReMIT, staff numbers reduced from 400 to 40 and Nick’s role was no longer effective.”

There is speculation that the London office rent may be sold and the RMIF move to its outpost at Rugby, Warwickshire.
