Board Meeting

Board meeting at Fairstone Group’s offices in Boldon, Tyne and Weir. As usual very collegiate and well organised. I must have been to hundreds of board meetings in my career and I can honestly say the Fairstone events are the best I have experienced. The numbers are good as well!

I’m now chairing the firm’s Risk Committee. This means I am subject to potential suspension, fines or imprisonment. Needless to say I thought carefully before accepting this role. As far as I am concerned there were two requirements. First: Governance. Second: Culture. In fact, I should have put culture first. Because as we all know, culture eats governance for breakfast!
