1. Apologies for Absence
2. Declarations of Interest
Directors are asked to consider whether they have an interest to declare in relation to any item on the agenda for this meeting. Any Director making a declaration of interest should provide some information on the nature of the interest. Advice may be sought from Officers prior to the meeting taking place.
3. Recommendation from Trading Board to amend Memorandum and Articles of Association PP 1-2
Following consideration of a report at the 11 December 2024 HLH Trading Board meeting, there has been a recommendation from the Trading Board to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Currently, the maximum number of Directors on the Trading Board is nine, of which four have to be from the HLH Board and five independently appointed. Trading Company Directors have suggested that given the current vacancies, the known increase in trading business requirements with the opening of the Inverness Castle Experience in 2025 and to ensure that required skills are available to the Trading Board at this important time, the composition of the Trading Board be amended from the current 4:5 split to a minimum of two and a maximum of four from the HLH Board with the remaining Directors independent.
The Board is invited to approve the altering of the Trading Subsidiary Memorandum and Articles of Association to allow this, through the adoption of the Members Written Special Resolution.
