Well, yes - 7 concurrent directorships (including being MD of her consulting business). Raises the question whether she can spend enough bandwidth on any of them (and let me guess which one will have priority if bandwidth is at a premium).
As well - wasn't she involved in bringing Top shop to NZ? How did that go?

That Mary is an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit
That’s pretty good credentials

Really.????
I can think of a number of dubious knights and dames.
I also recall a great number of failed companies, that won prestigious awards before they collapsed.
Great CEO's do not go from company to company in my experience.

...probably thought that Director Karen needed a bit of female companionship on the Board
At least with an ONZM appointment deserved on merit
One thing good about HLG is at least they have a few people on the Board who know a bit about fashion retailing .....and now a better representation of the realisation their customers are of both sexes.

More diversity on the board...I thought you'd be thrilled.
Anyway...we haven't talked much about earnings for a while. SP holding up well even though next dividend isn't till December and even with the currency out of its range that's its been trading in for the last few years. Drawing some strength from Kathmandu perhaps ?

none of my sources are showing that specific trade and yet their total volume includes it
For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
