Non-Executive Members of Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee provides support, challenge and advice on the overall leadership and strategy of the agency, acting as a critical friend. As a government agency, we have no requirement to have this level of governance but we believe it adds real value to the way we lead and manage the agency.

All of our directors sit on the Advisory Committee, along with seven Non-Executives who have experience and knowledge that reflects our business and who can offer a fresh perspective. You can find out more about our Non-Executives below.
