Ivy Collection chief executive Baton Berisha has left the business after a year in the role and seven years with the company in total.

A spokesperson for the company said: "Baton Barisha is no longer working for the company. We thank him for his service and wish him well in the future."

Berisha previously worked as director of operations and then managing director of Richard Caring's Ivy Collection, before being promoted to chief executive of the Ivy Collection, Bill's Restaurants, Caprice Restaurants and the Birley Group last year.

The Sunday Times has reported that Caring has requested his senior executive team report directly to him following Berisha's departure and plans to split the role in future.
