NATIONAL Enterprises Ltd (NEL) chairman Ingrid Lashley announced her retirement from the board after nine years of service, along with two other NEL board members, at the state-affiliated company’s annual general meeting on September 5.

The other two board members are Ross Alexander, who represented labour interests, on the board and Nicole De Freitas, a former banker and IT specialist.

However, when shareholders asked frankly whether she was being forced out by corporation sole, she assured that it was simply time for her to move on.
