How we are managed

Board members

The Board of Directors meets four times a year, normally in March, June, September and December. The Board comprises at least 14 members and not more than 22. Five members are appointed by Universities UK (UUK), two by GuildHE limited, and one by the Association of Colleges. Eight members are appointed to represent institutions within our scheme.

The Directorate is the senior executive team within our organisation. It comprises the Chief Executive, the Directors of our main operational departments and the Director of Resources. The Directorate is supported by a more broadly-based Business Performance Group (BPG), which includes the heads of sub-departmental units.

The Directorate is responsible for developing the Corporate Business Plan and company budget, which, once approved by the Board, becomes the basis for our activities during the year.
