## How do I add or remove a director?

Last updated: 20 September 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Appointing is quick: a board or members' resolution, the incoming director's written consent, and notification to SSM within 14 days — we prepare the full set as a fixed-fee job. Removing a willing director is equally routine; removing an unwilling one follows Section 206 (members' ordinary resolution with special notice), a formal process we guide step by step.

Before appointing anyone, consider a director check — their undisclosed directorships, litigation and record become your board's exposure profile. Our due-diligence service exists for exactly this moment.
