Hassall withdraws nomination for Vector board

Bruce Hassall has withdrawn his nomination for election to the Vector board, ahead of the company's annual shareholder meeting.

Hassall's decision comes after feedback from some Vector shareholders about his previous role as chair of Fletcher Building.

Vector chair Doug McKay expressed disappointment, stating that Hassall had made a significant contribution to the board and had the unanimous support of his board colleagues.

McKay said Vector nominated Hassall for his commercial experience, health and safety knowledge, customer focus, and understanding of technology and organisation transformation.

Hassall said his decision was the right thing to do and wished Vector well in navigating the energy transition.
