Governance

The Board

The Board is the Partnership's governing body. It is made up of the Chairman, Peter Barton and members who have the appropriate skills and experience for an organisation that has a £170m turnover. The Marchioness of Douro is now the President of The Guinness Partnership.

The Board sets the strategic direction for the Partnership and is responsible for overall performance. It is responsible for taking key decisions regarding the Partnership's structure, objectives and financial management. There are a number of sub committees:

The Group Audit and Risk Committee

Reports to The Partnership Board on the effectiveness of our internal controls, financial reporting and business planning.

The Governance Committee

Recommends to The Partnership Board on all issues relating to all Board Members including skills and experience required and appointment of members to partner boards. It also agrees the terms and conditions of the Partnership Chief Executive and members of the Executive Team.

We also have a Project Review Group which is not a sub-committee of The Partnership Board but has an important role in reviewing in detail non-standard projects across the Partnership and deciding which should go forward for Board approval.
