Appointment of Director to Local Authority Trading Company pdf icon PDF 59 KB

Minutes:

The item was introduced by Caroline Gutteridge (Legal Manager, Commercial and Regulatory). She reminded members that Educaterers was a trading company of Warwickshire County Council, and the Council was the sole shareholder. A vacancy for a Council-appointed director had arisen following a resignation. It had been proposed that Craig Cusack be appointed. If agreed the appointment would be effective once approved by the Committee and upon notification to Companies House. A summary of Craig Cusack’s previous experience and his CV had been circulated to members to demonstrate his suitability for the role. Members were reminded that the role was non-renumerated.

 

Members said that for future appointments it would be helpful if a candidate’s experience could be summarised in the main report instead of being sent separately, as that would help transparency.

 

Councillor Warwick proposed a motion to accept the recommendation, as per the officer report. This was seconded by Councillor Jenns.

 

Resolved unanimously

 

That the Regulatory Committee approved the appointment of Craig Cusack as a Director of Educaterers Ltd.
