Halfords Group plc (HFD) AGM 2014

Today I attended the 10th Annual General Meeting of Halfords Group plc at the Hilton Garden Inn, Birmingham. The hotel was a pleasant enough location but marred by both the St Chad's and Queensway tunnels in central Birmingham being closed, thus making the journey by car a bit of a pain to say the least (the last 2 miles took over 30 minutes).

Halfords’ company secretary & Board had felt that a change of venue from the usual Stratford upon Avon to Birmingham city centre might attract more shareholders. Unfortunately changing the start time from a midday-ish time to 9am was not helpful. I believe that Roger, an elderly couple and I were the only shareholders (other than Board members) who attended. That was in sharp contrast to the 60 odd shareholders that attended the AGM ...
