The Board of Directors is comprised of the Non-Executive Chair, and Executive and Non-Executive Directors who bring a wide range of skills, experience, industry expertise and professional knowledge to their roles. All Non-executive Directors (except the Chair of the Board who was independent on appointment) are independent of management and free from any business interest that could compromise their independence or their ability to assess the effectiveness of the governance of the Company. The roles of Chair of the Board and Group Chief Executive Officer are separate and clearly defined, with the division of responsibilities set out in writing and agreed by the Board.
The Board has delegated day to day operational decisions to the Executive Committee which is the key management committee for the Group. The Executive Committee develops the Group’s strategy, and reviews capital expenditure and investment budgets. It is responsible for implementing Group policy, monitoring health and safety, financial, operational and quality of service performance, purchasing and supply chain issues, succession planning and governance matters.
