    Seems that their thinking is so ‘blinkered’ when it comes to diversity they’ll never be accused of pandering to the PC brigade ....that should please you beagle

    Some companies are taking things too far Winner. You know which companies I am referring too. This hound has indulged in some very nice cars over the years and to be honest for whatever reason, with the very occasional exception based on what I have observed its a male dominated industry. I think the board composition is the reality of the car industry....the new Singaporean based director looks like he might have an interesting heritage, does that not keep you somewhat happy ?
    Probably best we leave it there rather than drag this thread any further off on a tangent, in my opinion.

    That is right TWO, it is not just Grant Baker who did not turn up to the AGM what bothers me but also the new director let slip that he would make an effort to attend at least every quarterly meeting. He might miss more meeting than he attend in person.
    Sounds like a diversity at TRA also found in the general population, some motivated and some freeloaders.
    TRA got no worries when it comes to lack of diversity on the board.
    I note Baker was absent from 3 of the 12 Board meetings last year.

    Can’t be bothered coming to AGM

    Gives appearance he’s lost interest in Turners. Didn’t turn out the way he hoped?

    Makes sense Winner, if Grant misses a board meeting and has not got the motivation for the directorship then he is not likely part of setting a date for the next meeting. And this increases the chance he misses the next one.
    And is it not annoying when your are part of a board and meetings get slowed down because discussions get repeated to update members who missed previous once.

    Pure speculation along the lines recently suggested re Chris Luxon (AIR NZ)
    Fake news Winner.

    Yeah that is right, repeating part of the last meeting to update the wagging director(s) from previous meeting can easily take a couple of hours.
