“In their capacity as volunteers, Peter and Loretta will be able to concentrate their expertise and efforts on the respective sectional and national agendas of the organisation during these unprecedented times as we collectively respond to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Tony says.
A former KPMG Partner, Peter de Cure is an experienced non-executive director and Chairman, with strong technical skills in governance, finance, accounting, taxation, mergers, acquisitions and practical business knowledge across many industries.
