Election of Member Nominated Directors

In May 2012, the term of office for the current Member Nominated Directors (MNDs) will come to an end, creating vacancies on the Trustee Board. 

Following the Company’s decision to reduce the number of Trustee Directors from 12 to 9 (details can be found by clicking here) the number of MNDs on the Board will reduce from four to three. The Trustee has decided that two of the MNDs will be active (in service) members and one will be a retiree member.

The new Arrangements have been published in full on this website and can be found here.  Hard copies are available on request.
