Group Structure

Over the past year there have been important changes to the organisation in how we are organised and governed, so that we are a more unified organisation, able to share resources and best practice more effectively. The new identity and brand reflects these changes so that we are seen by our customers and external partners as a more unified organisation, rather than many different ones.
