Salman Malik and Gareth Penny stood for election having both been appointed during the year. Amjad Bseisu, Farina Khan, Rani Koya and Liv Monica Stubholt stood for re-election. Carl Hughes, John Winterman and Howard Paver did not stand for re-election and, accordingly, have stepped down from the Board following the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.
