Why Police Mutual?

Annual General Meeting 2007

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Police Mutual Assurance Society Limited took place on Thursday 10 May 2007 at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth.

As in previous years there were a number of re-elections and changes to the Committee of Management at the 2007 AGM. The objective of the Committee of Management is to express what members want from the Society in terms of products and services and ensure the strong link with the Police Service continues. The re-elections and changes are listed below:

Sir Ronnie Flanagan, HMCIC for England and Wales was re-elected as President.

Three of the five existing Vice Presidents were re-elected. These were Ian Johnston, Sir Paul Scott-Lee and Michael Todd. In addition, two new Vice Presidents, Julie Spence and Paul Stephenson were elected. Andrew Brown and Maria Wallis retired as Vice Presidents and they were thanked for their contribution to the work of the Society during their time as members of the Committee of Management.

As Chief Executive of the Society, Graham Berville was re-elected to the Committee of Management.

Six of the eight existing members of the Committee of Management were re-elected. These were Aidan Beck, Steve Curtis, Nigel Hibbert, Gary Horsburgh, Mick Joiner and Nick Wyer. In addition, two new members of the Committee of Management, Glenn Milne and Ieuan Watkins were elected. Martyn Ripley and Patricia Wood retired as members of the Committee of Management of the Society and they were thanked for the commitment they had shown the Society since their appointments in 1993 and 1997 respectively. 

To ensure that Police Mutual has access to external, professional, financial and commercial advice, David Davies and Mike Urmston were re-elected as the Non-Executive Directors. In addition, Richard Coates and John Giffard were newly elected as Non-Executive Directors. Bill Taylor retired as a Non-Executive Director and was thanked for the support he had given the Society during his term of office.

Bill Taylor also retired as Chairman of the Committee of Management and John Giffard, formerly Chief Constable for Staffordshire Police and a former Vice President of the Society, was newly appointed as Chairman in his place.

Other business carried out at the AGM included receiving the 2006 Annual Accounts, Report of the Committee of Management and Auditor's Report, approving the 2006 Remuneration Report  and re-appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Society's Auditor.
