Board positions are refreshed every two years as per the company articles of association. Applications for Board positions will be considered by acting Directors, based on their suitability for the roles available. An annual general meeting is typically held in June of each year, where any new elections will then be ratified by company members and levy paying businesses are invited to feedback on the company’s performance.
