The statement follows:
Goddard Enterprises Limited (GEL) would like to take the opportunity to clarify an article that was reported in the July 25th edition of Barbados Today newspaper.
The report stated “Charles Herbert relieved of Goddard chairmanship”. GEL would like to correct this statement. Mr. Charles Herbert still remains the Chairman of the Group.
Mr. William Putnam, the Deputy Chairman of the GEL Board of Directors, will be acting in the role of Chairman until such time as Charles Herbert can resume his official role as Chairman of the Goddard Group.
