They will have had to wait for the fit and proper tests, which can take a couple of weeks. I would imagine there is also some paperwork for each of them to sign.
I am told the first board meeting is later this week, so I would assume they will be confirmed officially after that.
It is interesting that he is still looking for more directors. I have heard there may be another couple on the way and the advert was also attached to the news of the new appointment.
Having a diverse board is a positive step, but how many directors do we need? We are going to need a bigger table and a few extra chairs at this rate!
