The Board is accountable to the Company’s shareholders and as such it is important for the Board to appreciate the aspirations of the shareholders and equally that the shareholders understand how the actions of the Board and short-term financial performance of the Company relate to the achievement of the Company’s longer term goals.
The Board reports to the shareholders on its stewardship of the Company through the publication of interim and final results each year. Press releases, annual and account reporting including those relevant via Regulatory News Service (RNS) are issued throughout the year and available on this website. Additionally, the annual report contains extensive information about the Company’s activities. We encourage inquiries from shareholders on all matters relating to the results and direction of the Company. The Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors also meet with major shareholders to discuss and review the progress of the Company and to understand any challenges alongside discussing governance and overall strategy. The Chief Executive Officer provides periodic feedback to the Board following meetings with shareholders.
The Annual General Meeting provides an opportunity for communication with all shareholders and the Board encourages the shareholders to attend and actively participate. The Directors attend the Annual General Meeting and are available to answer questions.
