I read tonight that Bruce Sheppard has been appointed to the board of Christchurch bus information firm Connexionz. I wonder how he’ll react to some pesky shareholder holding him to account the way he’s historically held other directors to account????

I will treat such people the same way I like to be treated when I am on the otherside. Frank and honest answers, humour when appropriate and correcting when wrong. I have no problem with intellegent debate.
Nice answer Bruce – welcome to the “other side”!
