Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2007

More details about Liverpool Victoria's financial performance are available in the Annual Report & Accounts section of our website.

At the AGM, members voted on a number of resolutions:

Mark Austen and Dennis Holt were appointed as directors in September 2006 and Mike Rogers was appointed as a director in June 2006.  Under the Rules of the Society they hold the office of director until the conclusion of the AGM and therefore sought re-appointment.

John Woolhouse who reached the age of 70 in November 2006 retired as a director under section 3(3) of Schedule 11 of the Friendly Societies 1992.  The Board had recommended his re-appointment for a further year.

The Rules of the Society allow payment of discretionary benefits only to Members, the resolution proposed at the AGM makes an amendment to the Rules which enables such benefits to be provided to a wider range of individuals associated with members, including spouses, civil partners, parents and grandparents, children and grandchildren.

Other resolutions proposed were the receipt of the Report and Accounts for 2006, the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Society’s auditors and, as an advisory vote, the approval of the Remuneration Report.

All resolutions were passed overwhelmingly by the members in attendance and by the postal votes.

Current Chairman John Woolhouse announced at the AGM that he will step down as Chairman and as a member of the Board on the 30th June 2007 and will be succeeded as Chairman by Dennis Holt.  More information >
