The Nomination Committee operates within defined terms of reference and reports directly to the Board.
The Nomination Committee meets at least twice a year. Its responsibilities include making recommendations to the Board on all new Board appointments and succession planning.
During 2010-2011, the Nomination Committee has made recommendations to the Board on the appointment of two new Non-executive directors, Simon Borrows and William Jackson. The recommendations were made after considering a wide range of candidates and employing external search consultants. The Committee has also considered and approved the appointment of one new Executive Director, Lucinda Bell.
It has also considered succession planning, the structure, size and composition of the Board and its committees, the recommendations to the Board of directors retiring by rotation for re-election by shareholders and the renewal of Non-executive Directors’ letters of appointment.
