A Number of 'Firsts' - RBLI's 85th Annual General Meeting


Royal British Legion Industries held its Annual General Meeting at the Royal Engineers’ Museum in Chatham on 21st September 2010.

I am pleased to be able to open the new RBLI website with an update from our 85th Annual General Meeting. Not only is the website brand new but the AGM followed a new format and was held, for the first time, at the Royal Engineers’ Museum in Chatham. It was also my first AGM as Chief Executive so it was most pleasing to have our Vice President, Countess Mountbatten of Burma presiding. I am also grateful to the Mayor and Mayoress of Medway for their support. The Mayor closed proceedings with some inspiring words as we prepare our new 5 year strategy to be launched early next year.

RBLI continues to put its beneficiaries at the heart of our business and the trustees, members, friends and senior management team expressed their full support to contribute their utmost in the next 12 months. My wish is to expand the number of ‘Friends of RBLI’ so that we double the number at the next AGM.
