The Board consists of the Chief Executive Officer and 3 Non-executive directors, and the Group’s senior management consists of 8 key management personnel, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. This facilitates the direct and frequent communication between all parties and the Board. Due to the nature of a small team and the wide and varied skills possessed, key strategic business decisions are generally discussed and analysed by all concerned, ensuring all relevant interests and perspectives are considered and addressed in the decision making process.

A significant part of any business is maintaining a good relationship with its suppliers, and the Group maintains strong relationships with its key suppliers.

Diversity Policy

Given the Company’s current stage of development, its organizational structure and limited headcount, the Board considers that a formal diversity policy would not be practicable for the Company to develop and implement and would not improve the Group’s policies or processes in a meaningful manner. The Company and the Board already integrate equality and diversity in all aspects of the Company’s business and all decisions are made on merit and without regard to protected characteristics. Where appropriate and practicable for the Company, the Company considers and implements positive actions to enable the Company to provide additional support. This can include, for example, making adjustments to assist staff and ensuring that, to the extent possible, all relevant perspectives are included in decision making on an ongoing basis.

The Company will keep the requirement for a formal diversity policy under review and will give serious consideration to the adoption of a policy, tailored to the nature of the Company’s business, its operations and resources at the appropriate point.
