- We have six Board meetings a year (bimonthly, January to November), on the 4th Thursday afternoon of each relevant month. These meetings cover both trading companies in the group.
- Board meetings are hybrid (in-person & online) but in person attendance by all directors is encouraged where possible for at least ½ of the meetings. It would be important for the Chair to attend most of the meetings in person.
- Board meetings are generally held in Plymouth, although meetings in Exeter and Weston-Super-Mare are now being included once per annum
- There are three committees:
- Operations committees, which meet six time a year (bi-monthly, February to December), on the 4th Thursday afternoon of each relevant month
- People and Remuneration Committee which typically meets three times a year in March, April and September
- Audit Committee (which is new) which meets twice a year envisaged as March and July.
- Committee meetings tend to be hybrid. Independent Non-Executive Directors are expected to chair these committees, as matching their particularly skill set. ANEDs would be expected to attend committee meetings that match their skills/experience.
- All board members including ANEDs are encouraged to attend Shareholder meetings of which there are three a year.
- Meetings typically last three hours.
- All board members including ANEDs are expected to attend one Board away day (in person) per year
- Chairs spend 1 to 2 hours preparing each meeting.
- The Chair is responsible for the annual appraisal of the CEO and annual meetings with each member of the board
- The Chair is also expected to proactively engage with the executive, shareholders and the wider public sector in an ambassadorial role.
