I keep thinking of you Beagles when I read novels by Martin Walker.
He seems to think they are intelligent.????
Other than that he writes a good book.

Page 666 spooky eh..."the love of money is the root of all evil" 1 Timothy 6:v10 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...10&version=KJV "Neither a lender nor borrower be" Shakespeare. Hopefully this post helps turn the page lol

Just change the number of posts per page on your settings

Good at sniffing out Truffles.

Not sure about intelligent but they're VERY good at sniffing out sources of food
Suppose share gains provide a source to fund purchases of human food.
Actually...speaking of food...Annual meeting next week, anyone going ? HBL are well renowned for putting on a good spread of snacks and drinks...something to do with their southern roots...southerners good with their hospitality it is said

Yes always a very good wine.
Trust this year's agm will be live to watch.With what I save on airfares I may shout myself a nice Shiraz or Sav Blanc,or two.
Their presentations are usually very comprehensive,and outline very clearly where they are headed.
With so much capital raised this year, the very strong organic growth must be set to continue.Last time I spoke to Chris Flood he told me "bad debts" on "open for business" loans were running below budget.Be interesting if this is still the case.Also be interested to see if nim has recovered.Was growing strongly.Watch for comments on Australian "open for business" success/failure.[at present run out of Auckland].

percy - once again you take things out of context and twist the facts to defend your beloved Heartland

These awards were the Insurance Industry Awards - doubt whether Heartland even entered

While we are on the subject of gender diversity females make up 48% of Heartland's headcount which isn't that much different than ANZ (but ANZ is a higher %age).

percy, I wonder if you even bothered to read the Heartland Annual Report. The Chairman made comment about about improving diversity and they even have formed a diversity commitee. Not doubt he will say something at this years AGM ...and hopefully not look like the buffoon he was when questioned at a recent AGM. Maybe there is hope for old fuddy duddies after all.

You should be proud that the two new directors are big hitters in the diversity space. From the Annual Report -

Vanessa and Ellie are also both strong advocates for promoting diversity, in particular gender diversity. Vanessa is Chair of Global Women in New Zealand, which acts as a catalyst for transformation of the leadership landscape of women in New Zealand, and is a champion of diversity and its positive impact on business performance. Ellie is a member of Chief Executive Women, an Australian organisation focused on increasing women's representation in senior leadership.

I have it good authority that one of Heartlands objectives is to enter and win some of these workplace awards. Great way of promoting the business as well

Food for thought you mentioned. Probably you are too blinkered to broaden your thinking but even a quick skim through this https://www.championsforchange.nz/ might enlighten you (slightly). Vanessa a leading light in that as well.

Know you only winding me up but worthy of discussion

Heartland Board skills matrix

Weakest (OK the ones with the lowest scores) skill areas are

Related industries/Insurance
Customer data CRM
Digital and IT
Liquidity and Funding

hmm - the customer data CRM and Digital and IT seem to the future of the company.

of the 17 skills scored those 2 strategically important ones (?) are where the Board is weakest

$1.98 ?

Definitely over-priced!
