Peter Byers is to succeed Guy Leech as group finance director of the John Ronan and Richard Barrett- controlled property investment business, Treasury Holdings.

The company announced yesterday that Mr Leech is leaving to pursue personal interests. Earlier this year, he sued the company for €2 million he argued was due to him under a bonus scheme and sought to prevent it cutting his pay by 35 per cent.

The issue has since been “resolved to the satisfaction of both parties”, according to the company.

The move has sparked changes in its two listed associates companies, Real Estate Opportunities (REO) and China Real Estate Opportunities (CREO).
