But the two additional non-executive directors (finance and marketing) who will be toiling hard 24 days a year earning £20k pa are going to make a huge difference, just wait and see. https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/steam-packet-needs-20k-directors-for-24-days-a-year/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re experienced in finance or marketing why don’t you apply. £20k pa is going rate for an experienced NED and 2 days pm is normal but there’s normally a few extra unscheduled meetings for no extra pay. Of course with a public appointment you also get the usual faceless experts saying they could do it for half etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm sure with your global knowledge on all matters under the sun, you'd be a worthwhile addition to the board. With your proven judgement applied, we could soon have another boat that needed further harbour modifications to make it fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sufficient NEDs already thanks 😊 If you don’t know what’s involved it’s very easy to criticize anonymously like many of the Facebook experts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 20 cars damaged yesterday. Wonder why they packed them on the upper car decks whn there was, apparently, room on the main car deck for most of them? We were lucky, we changed our yesterday's booking to Sunday and only got rockin' and rollin' for the latter part of the journey, phew.

Went up to Heysham overnight instead, despite the captain saying it was gale force 8 in the Irish Sea, the Manxman handled it amazingly. My car was also intact on arrival.
