, the United Kingdom, United States of America and our business partners. Employees are kept informed of the Company’s progress and development by way of recurring meetings and have access to the Board at all times.

We seek to maintain a good business relationship with our business partners who are well- respected experts in their field.

Principle 4: Embed effective risk management, considering both opportunities and threats, throughout the organisation

The Group considers robust systems and controls will enhance the Group’s ability to manage and respond to challenges and opportunities. The Board is responsible for overall supervision of the Group’s operations while the Company’s CEO and CFO are responsible for the implementation of the systems and controls across the Group and recommending improvements and revisions to the Board for consideration. As part of its systems and controls, the Group has adopted clearly defined roles and responsibilities, with clear lines of reporting and supervision. Given the Group’s current stage of development, the Group considers the processes and procedures adopted provide the necessary framework for effective risk management throughout the organisation, while retaining flexibility and the opportunity to continue to develop in line with the Group’s future strategy.

Principle 5: Maintain the Board as a well-functioning, balanced team led by the chair

The Board is led by Matthew Shaw as the Company’s Chairman, supported by the senior management team and other non-executive directors. He is supported by Justin Nolan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jim MacCallum, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and the Company’s two other non-executive directors. Members of the Company’s senior management team are invited to Board meetings as necessary and appropriate. The Board considers that each director has the required level of expertise and experience in his or her field, and regular Board meetings are held to discuss all key matters and the Board functions well and is appropriately led.

Principle 6: Ensure that, between them, the directors have the necessary up-to-date experience, skills and capabilities

The Board is comprised of individuals with appropriate expertise and experience, each of whom brings a differing but complementary skillset to the Board. All the directors receive regular updates on the Group’s operational and financial performance and attend frequent Board meetings where key issues are discussed at length. The Board is responsible for the appointment, removal and re-election of directors and when such a decision is required it will take account of the Company’s need for a balance of market, operational and financial expertise.
