Focol Holdings (FOCOL) has elected a new board of directors.

Franklyn Wilson, Alfred B. Coakley, Anthony Robinson, Deborah Archer, Rosel Moxey, Russell Miller, John Bethell and Walter Wells have all been elected to serve.

During FOCOL’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, March 26, Mr Wilson was reappointed director – a position he has held for more than three decades.

Four directors did not stand for re-election – Carol Lashley, Maitland Cates, Emil Symonette and Sir Albert Miller - the latter of whom stepped down as FOCOL’s chairman.

Mrs Lashley will continue as corporate secretary and legal counsel, positions she has held since 1992.

The directors will serve during the following year and until their successors are elected.

Mr Wilson, who is also the incoming chairman, welcomed three new directors, Messrs Miller, Bethel and Wells, whom he called “outstanding businesspersons”.

“The Board anticipates the addition of one more, but the matter is being deferred in the context of evolving strategies,” Mr Wilson said.

“So, being chairman, president, director, manager or staff within the FOCOL Group is serious business, regardless of rank.

“I, therefore, request everyone on the FOCOL team, regardless of your role today, to renew your commitment to do the best job possible and to consistently draw on the strength and intellect lent to each of us by the Almighty so that in unity we may continue this remarkable journey of driving FOCOL to even greater heights.”
