Lack of talent?

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: This old mutt wonders about the quality of directors currently serving on the board of Beef+Lamb NZ.

A couple of months ago, chair Andrew Morrison announced that newbie director Kate Acland would be made its deputy chair.

This begs the question of just what Morrison really thinks about the rest of his fellow B+LNZ directors.

They have all been on the board far longer than Acland, with the new deputy chair only coming on to the board last year.

Mind you, it looks like the entire board may be in trouble, with a group of farmers calling on B+LNZ's directors to reject the current HWEN proposal, which all of them heavily back, or face a vote of no confidence.

Meanwhile, any directors who are coming up for re-election this year may find it hard holding their seats with all the discontent with B+LNZ around at the moment.
