2021 board director election results
We are delighted to announce that Rebecca Horlock, Leslie Brantingham, Louise Cottingham and Richard Drury are going to join us as our new Volunteer Board Directors.
We urge you to please consent to receiving communications by electronic means by registering for the online 2021 AGM and online 2021 Election, which include an option to ‘opt in’ for future communications. Sending out postal communications about HF Holidays’ AGM costs our Society around £40,000 each year. Quite apart from the financial cost, this creation and postage of paper is not in line with our values as an environmentally and socially responsible Society.
The 2021 Election is an important matter for our Society. As a cooperative, HF Holidays is owned and controlled by its Members and its Board of Directors is elected by and from our Membership. An effective Board is vital to the continuing success of HF Holidays. This year there are four vacancies on the Board up for election (three of a four-year term and one of a two-year term), and I would like to encourage you to exercise your rights as a Member and vote for a maximum of three candidates who you would like to see on the HF Holidays’ Board. Please consider https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/membership/join-our-board to see the relevant skills and experience which would further enhance our board.
Yours sincerely
Malcolm Oliver, Chair, HF Holidays

2020 Board Director Election Results
Despite the pandemic, voting for new directors did continue as planned and three new directors were elected. We are delighted to announce that Linda Haydon, Steve Bishop and Mark Hoffman are going to join us as our new Volunteer Board Directors, albeit a little later than we all expected. We are in unprecedented times, which require a different approach. We have sought advice from Cooperatives UK and have agreed the three newly elected Directors will start their four-year term on the Board after the re-scheduled AGM has taken place.
Outgoing Directors
On Saturday 28 March 2020 Robert Ainsworth, Robert Locke and Brian Tilley reached the end of their four-year term on the Board. In normal times they would receive a public valediction from the stage of the AGM. This year, in view of the special measures forced on us by the Coronavirus crisis, we are sorry that we have had to forgo this public message of thanks. Each of them played a key part in the successful growth of HF Holidays. On behalf of the Board, employees and Members, our Chair, Cheryl Hunnisett, would like to thank them for their contribution of time and energy in helping us to keep a good balance between prudence and expansion.
