SIA parts company with chief executive
Security Industry Authority (SIA) chief executive Michael Wilson has left the organisation by "mutual consent".
Wilson, who was appointed in 2007, will leave on 13 November and his departure follows the news that the doorstaff regulator has received £17.4m in extra public funding due to administration problems and "poor forecasting" of licensing demands.
The organisation has been heavily criticised for the way it handled the registration of doorstaff in England and Scotland, prompting a public apology earlier this year for its "poor performance".
SIA chairman Ruth Henig said: "Mike, the SIA Board and I came to the mutual agreement that Mike would leave the SIA next week.
"The board and I are grateful to him for all his hard work and dedication to the development of the SIA in the past year, and we wish him well.
"An interim chief executive will join us shortly until a permanent chief executive is recruited in the New Year.
"Our delivery to our stakeholders will not be disrupted. Working closely with the industry and our other partners, we will continue to contribute to public protection through regulation."
