Boral (ASX:BLD) is looking to shift up its board composition again following shareholder concerns regarding director accountability for past performance and the level of representation by Seven Group Holdings (ASX:SVW).

Boral’s Chairman, Kathryn Fagg, has indicated that she is willing to retire from the Board at the upcoming AGM.
