New Chairman for CHC Advisory Committee

At the September meeting of Cowes Harbour Commission's Advisory Committee, Red Funnel CEO James Fulford was elected as the new Chairman.

There was consensus that a Vice Chairman should also be appointed and this position was given to Adrian Wilkins representing Medina Combined Clubs.

After his election, James Fulford stated that he would endeavour to discharge his duties as Chairman using best judgement as a delegate for the benefit of the Advisory Committee, regardless of the fact that he was a representative of Red Funnel. He also made it clear that if and when he was offering a view as a representative of Red Funnel, and unless this is stated at the time, his views should be interpreted as representing the Committee as a whole.

The Advisory Committee, which meets at least four times a year, is a key part of Cowes Harbour Commission's good governance policies, enabling stakeholders to bring issues to the attention of CHC, and assisting the flow of information to the Cowes and harbour community.
