SWS suffers second blow as deputy chief quits

IN the second shock departure this week from SWS, deputy chief executive Rose McHugh is leaving the group to manage Merrion Capital’s new Cork office.

Kieran Calnan, chief executive at SWS, also announced last Friday that he intends to retire from his post early in the New Year, having served the Bandon, Co Cork, based group in a variety of roles for 43 years.

However, he intends to stay until the latter part of next year to ensure continuity and a smooth transition.
