The Nominating Committee consists of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and two other non-executive directors. These are currently Sir Michael Rake, Maarten van den Bergh, Phil Hodkinson and John Nelson. It recommends to the Board appointments of all directors and any changes to the Board. To ensure an appropriate balance of expertise and ability, it has agreed, and regularly reviews, a profile of the skills and attributes required from the non-executive directors as a whole. This profile is used to assess the suitability as non-executive directors of candidates put forward by the directors and outside consultants. Candidates short-listed for appointment are met by the committee before it recommends an appointment to the Board.
