Talk:Messages from the Shareholders/@comment-4074242-20141124153935

I received your yesterday, together with a letter from the Chairman. Reading both there are clearly some issues that need resolving - whilst I accept the justification from the Chairman on a few issues, I do support your concerns regarding: *the election of Trustees, in particular moving co-opted into elected positions without going through the proper election process. The payment to Which? of such a large sum to allow companies to use the Best Buy indicator in their advertising is questionable - a token sum of £1K or £2K    would seem to me more than adequate - a Best Buy should be a Best Buy, and any product or service receiving such a status should be able to advertise that achievement for a minimum sum - yes they will increase sales, but that’s the result of producing a good product! I have adjusted my proxy form accordingly. Best wishes on way forward - sadly many will vote ‘For’ as always without questioning, but your letter will make some think twice and act accordingly (like me for instance).
 * phasing the reduction in the number of elected positions.
 * consulting members beforehand - ‘proper communication is always the name of the game’.
