This report seeks approval for the appointment of a Director to the Board of Westminster Builds, in the form of its two constituent companies.

4.1   Cllr Rachael Robathan asked if there will be a separate paper on the appointment of a Managing Director and a review of the correct level of resourcing and mix of board members including non-executive directors.

4.2   Debbie Jackson responded that the recommendation in front of the Committee makes the board up to the right level of directors for now. The model for the Company is however that it is resourced in house by council officers and their time is recharged. A full review will however be conducted on resourcing levels and board membership ahead of the March meeting of this Committee.

4.3   The Committee voted to accept the recommendations.

RESOLVED: The Shareholder Committee agreed that Neil Wightman, Director of Housing at Westminster City Council should be appointed as a Board Member of Westminster Builds, in the form of Westminster Housing Investments Ltd and Westminster Housing Developments Ltd. and that the secretary of the Company should make the necessary entries in the statutory books of the Company and to make the necessary filings at Companies House.
