| Keith Richards joins our call for an EGM It was a busy news day today. Thanks for everybody’s continued efforts in trying to keep this issue alive. I contacted the CII Local Institutes and PFS Regional Chairs today. If you know your local council-members of PFS Regional committee, please engage with them and let them know how upset the membership is by this. I understand that EGM emails were being sent at quite a rate yesterday – thanks to all that have! If you haven’t sent yours yet, or asked colleagues to do the same, find out how to here. If you have any other thoughts about actions we can take, whether regulatory, or legal challenge based, to try and delay or stop this hostile takeover, please contact me by replying to this email, or directly at alasdair@ha-w.co.uk Please continue to share these emails, and directing colleagues and friends to https://ourpfs.co.uk. With your help, we can drive real change. -Alasdair |
