BOQ: What would you ask CEO Patrick Allaway?

We’ve got the perfect opportunity to put our concerns to BOQ CEO Patrick Allaway at this year’s BOQ Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will be held on Tuesday 3 December in Brisbane.

BOQ has taken the knife to hundreds of jobs in the past two years and following the unexpected takeover of owner-managed branches there are more job cuts on the cards. We’ll be asking Mr Allaway how he justifies these jobs cuts when BOQ continues to post hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

If there are any other issues you would like raised at the AGM, let us know by clicking the button below.
