Summary of the proceedings during which press and public were excluded

 

At its meeting on 19 January 2018, the Panel had resolved that 7 candidates for CFO should progress to the next stage of the process.  This was an interview on 29 January by the Chairman and Ms K May on behalf of the Panel, assisted by the HHROD and CX-designate Mr P Robinson. In the light of those interviews, the HHROD was authorised in consultation with the Chairman to agree the candidates to progress to final interview by the Panel.  Three candidates were put forward for interview by the Panel on 2 February.

 

Each of the 3 candidates gave a presentation and was interviewed by the Panel.  Given that there was another Appointments etc Panel listed for the afternoon which some members were also attending, the Panel adjourned its further discussion until 10 am on Monday 5 February.

 

On Monday 5 February the Panel continued its discussions and decided to appoint Michael Hudson to the post of Chief Financial Officer.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

(a)        the post of Chief Financial Officer be offered to Michael Hudson;

 

(b)       the post be offered at the top of the scale for a 35 hour week plus an appropriate Market Forces Supplement; and

 

(c)        The Head of HR and OD be authorised to determine the precise details of that Supplement and any other contractual matter.

 

The meeting adjourned at 2.20pm on 2 February until 10am on 5 February, then adjourned between 11am and 1.00 pm and ended at 1.20pm
