The director in question must be given a copy of the notice and he or she will be permitted to attend and make representations at the meeting.
Following termination, you should formally record the decision and the reasons for the director’s removal, document the termination in the company’s Register of Directors and notify Companies House by filing Form TM01 within 14 days of the removal.
