arranged. I hold two and my mother nine hundred and ninetyeight. Anyway, I wanted
to put you in the picture. The next move is to get you made a director. I'll see what I
can do.
(Next day, at the Board Meeting.)
HECTOR GRANT: What's the next item on the agenda, William? WILLIAM
BUCKHURST: We've got this problem of Alfred Wentworth, of Wentworth &
Company. He ought to be invited to join the Board.
GRANT: It's unfortunate, but I'm afraid he now owns so many shares that his election
is inevitable... Don't put that in the minutes, William!
PETER: I would like to propose that our Sales Manager, John Martin, should also be
asked to join the Board. In the time he has been here he has greatly increased sales
and done much to improve profits. I think if he was made a director his advice at
Board Meetings would be invaluable.
GRANT: Well, perhaps next year I...
PETER: Be careful, H.G. You don't want to lose him. There must be a lot of
companies who'd be prepared to offer him a directorship. We can't afford to lose him.
GRANT: What do you think, William?
BUCKHURST: It might be a good idea to strengthen the support for yourself, H.G.
GRANT: Very well. As the Character of the Board is changing so completely, this is
probably the right moment... yes... I agree. John would be a useful counter to
Wentworth. If everyone agrees...
PETER: Yes.
BUCKHURST: Agreed.
GRANT: William, will you draft suitable minutes about these two proposals then?
BUCKHURST: Yes. I will.
GRANT: Now the next item on the agenda is to consider a report with
recommendations tabled by you, William, on budgetary control. Perhaps you'd like to
give us an outline of your proposals.
BUCKHURST: As everyone here knows, I have just attended a course on financial
control, and as a result I really do consider we should do the accounts more often than
we do at present.
GRANT: At present the accounts are done every quarter.
BUCKHURST: Yes, but quarterly accounts .don't allow us to keep a close enough
control. If the company should suddenly make a heavy loss we ought to be able to act
quickly. If we don't, it may be too late to prevent the loss getting larger still.
GRANT: When, if sales go down, we reduce stocks, which means cutting down
purchases and, if necessary, we reduce personnel.
