• PFS feedback

  

  Just a quick note to those who voted “no” to motions 1 and/or 2 at the AGM.

  The board will have sent an email to you requesting anonymous feedback.

  Please consider making the case for a managed separation / independence from the CII – we need to try and bring this topic to the front and centre of the board.

  Furthermore, you may want to raise the unethical recent behaviour of the CII board, and the unsatisfactory arrangements whereby CII hold PFS “treasury funds” of £8.5M on their own balance sheet with no interest payable to PFS members.

  One final point to note – Trevor Edwards, who is apparently the financial director of the PFS, was asked a question from the floor about the mutual status of PFS being under threat now that it no longer has a majority of member-voted directors. From his response in the room, and the wholly unsatisfactory answer provided, I would guess that this has never actually been considered by the CII board before flooding the PFS board.

• 4th November 2024 – PFS AGM
  My understanding from people close to the PFS is that the CII are trying to quietly dismantle any semblance of independence from the inside. You should have received a proxy vote form and notification of the PFS AGM, held pm Monday 11 November, at Midland Hotel, Manchester M60 2DS, and online. If you’re able to… Continue reading 4th November 2024 – PFS AGM
