Word from the Chair
John Southworth was of the view that after having spent 5 years with the Company, he was proud of how it had progressed over the span of time. Right from establishing the VVFPA structure to being able to give out regular dividends through operational earnings, the Company had come a long way.
Thanking the team for its support in the process, he further said the Company was in the stage of evolution, where he believed that his skills would be more useful in capital projects than in turnaround. He further said he believed that the search for his replacement should find similar skill sets as that of Christine who should take on the role in the interim period.
