Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for running the Company, including all major business and financial risks and taking strategic decisions.

The Directors communicate at least weekly on significant matters, in particular on matters affecting cashflow and on matters concerning the joint venture in Argentina.

To enable the Board to perform its duties, each director has access to advice from the Company Secretary and independent professionals at the Company's expense.

Due to the size of the Company, the Board believes that it can collectively and competently execute a clear leadership function without the appointment of a Chairman.

The Board comprises of:

Board Committees

The three principal standing committees of the Board are the Audit, Nominations and Remuneration Committees.

Audit committee

The Audit Committee has an oversight of the group as a whole. It monitors the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, including its annual and interim reports relating to the Company’s financial performance. Last year the Audit Committee reviewed the content of the Annual Report and Accounts and the Interims. It made recommendations to the board in relation to the external auditor and approved their remuneration and terms of engagement and scope of audit.

Due to the size of the Company, the Board has not and does not comply with the principle that the Board and Audit Committee should at least have two independent directors.  Given the current level of transactions within the Company, the Board considers that adequate resources are available at Board level, although a further non-executive director is currently being sought.

The executive directors are part time directors of the Company although all directors are expected to commit sufficient time to the Company in addition to attending the Board meetings.
