Exova’s governance structure enables the company to delegate responsibility, with a common set of business controls. This ensures that decisions are made by those best placed to do so within the management structure.

The Board is focused on activities that enable it to promote shareholder interests, including strategy, monitoring executive actions, senior management succession and governance. The Board meets quarterly and when required.

The Executive Team, listed on the right, is responsible for the day to day running of the company, comprising of the CEO, CFO, four Managing Directors and Group Functional Directors. The Team meets each week.

The Divisions (Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Global Fire Safety Technology) each have their own management teams which meet regularly.
