About Us:
Board of Directors
Our Board members have accumulated a wealth of experience across a broad range of industries.
Currently, the Board has five directors, of which three are Non-Executive Independent Directors. The Board believes there is a strong element of independence in the Board as the Independent Directors constituted more than half of the Board, and no individual or small group of individuals dominates the Board’s decision making process. Given the current size of GRP’s operations, GRP believes that the size and composition of the Board is appropriate and provide sufficient diversity without interfering with efficient decision making. The Board is made up of the following individuals:
