TCCI Board
Newly elected Chairman of the TCCI, Andrew Heap, has announced a number of changes to the organisation at a Board level.
As a result of a Board meeting today, at which Troy Harper announced
his decision due to business and family commitments to stand down from
the role of Chairman but continue on the Board, Mr Heap was unanimously
elected Chairman.
In addition, long serving Board members Martin Rees and John White
tendered their resignations after legal advice highlighting a
technicality in the TCCI Constitution, which precluded their continuance
on the Board due to their length of terms already served.
