Embattled engineering giant Wood has announced a boardroom shakeup ahead of a crunch shareholder vote on its future.

The Aberdeen-based company said chief executive Ken Gilmartin has decided to step down after three years leading the firm through what appeared to become a battle for survival.

Mr Gilmartin will leave Wood following a vote on a cut-price takeover bid for the company made by a Middle Eastern firm, which is scheduled for November 12.

Directors have recommended that shareholders approve the 30p per share acquisition of Wood by Dubai-based Sidara. It values the group at around £216m.
