Statement from Chris Earnshaw, President, Partnership Council

“Every half year, the Chairman attends our Partnership Council to give an update and discuss with Councillors the progress of the Partnership. This is central to how we exercise our democratic principles and ownership of the business.

“The Council voted in support of the Chairman to progress the Partnership in relation to its purpose, principles and rules. The Council did not support last year’s performance, in which we reported a full year loss and no Partner Bonus.  

“The Council, Chairman and Board will continue to work together to ensure the long-term success of the Partnership and our employee-owned model.”

 

Further reflections from one of our Councillors on the Chairman's Report can be found here.
