“We are delighted that Corey and Kevin are joining our Board,” says Hon Heather Roy, Chair of the UDL Board. “Corey knows us well having been a former future director with the UDL board. Kevin brings with him wide ranging governance experience in the energy sector and transformation skills.”
The Board has also appointed a future director for 12 months. Richard Willis was a co-founder at Flick Electric and specialises in general management, sales and marketing, startup operations and new business development. “We are excited to work with Richard,” says Heather Roy.
After six and five years respectively with UDL, Brian McCulloch and Mark Gatland are stepping down as their terms expire. “Brian was appointed an independent director to the Board in 2017 during a time of change and growth.
