Wigton Windfarm Limited has rationalised and restructured its various sub-committees, which have now been approved by its Board of Directors.

As part of the process, the board has dispensed with two of its existing committees, namely audit, finance and investment and the technical sub-committees.

The Jamaican, publicly listed renewable energy firm advises that “the rationalisation and restructuring exercise was not as a result of any disagreement or issue with any of the directors’ ability to carry out any of the functions delegated by the board by virtue of the previous appointments.  It was done to ensure greater alignment of the board and its oversight responsibility with the strategic direction of Wigton.”

The following changes and appointments to the company’s board sub-committees become effective as at February 8, 2023:

Established and newly constituted an Audit and Risk Sub-Committee:

  • Dennis Chung (chairman);
  • Gregory Shirley;
  • Jacqueline Stewart Lechler;
  • Nigel Davy; and
  • Omar Azan

Established and newly constituted Finance and Investment Sub-Committee comprised as follows:

  • Mariame McIntosh Robinson (chairperson);
