Meet again with returns, the last, never about company direction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reconvene

'meet again' is the definition.
('convene' is an answer for 'meet' so perhaps 'reconvene' is OK for 'meet again')

'returns the last never about company direction' is the wordplay.
'returns' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'last' suggests the final letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'direction' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'e'+'never'='enever'
'enever' reversed gives 'revene'.
'co'+'n'='con'
'revene' placed around 'con' is 'RECONVENE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reconvene that I've seen before include "get together again" , "Meet again" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
