All asked to prepare a presentation on what our 2012 Annual Report could look like. On arrival 45 minutes to prepare a press release. This was emailed to Steve who sent back his assessments. We then combined his comments with the three interviewer's reactions to the candidates. Three candidates appoint able. All had the same first choice. References taken up.
