How A1 P.R.P Ltd intend to recruit a Management Team, how this will Work

The Board is currently made up from 2 – 13 members, each serving for 3 years. One third of the Management team will stand down each year (though individuals may stand for re-election).
Nominations for the Board will be made once a year before the AGM. All members will be informed by post or electronic mail with the opportunity to stand for nomination they must then complete a nominations form and return it by the deadline detailed on the letter.
