It will also assist the board in ensuring that appropriate accounting policies, internal financial controls and compliance procedures are in place. The audit committee will receive information from the external auditors and will seek to challenge the management where necessary. The Committee will also consider any new or potential risks posed to the Company and will identify the mitigants and controls necessary to ensure that such risks are managed in a manner appropriate to the size and complexity of the Company’s operations at that time.

In addition, the nominations committee will recommend changes to the board where specific skills and experiences are required to achieve the Company’s future development plans.

The board bring relevant experience in the property sector, finance sector, business operations and the public markets. The directors of the Group comprise a mixture of two entrepreneurial, and dynamic executive directors who founded the Group and an experienced CFO, which is balanced by the experience of two independent non-executive directors with significant public markets experience. The Group believes that this cognitive diverse experience of the board provides a sufficient balance to promote the success of the business.

The Group’s directors are evaluated against the Group strategy as outlined in the prospectus dated 23 December 2020. The board intend to consider how formal assessments of board performance will be conducted in the future and will also consider succession planning as and when necessary. The longer-term performance of the board is being considered by the Group and announcements will be made on this matter when appropriate.

The board believes that the promotion of a corporate culture based on sound ethical values and behaviours is critical to gain a competitive advantage and maximise shareholder value.

Senior management hold an Employee Engagement meeting monthly with staff matters, employee feedback, employee engagement and professional training/development all standing agenda items. The CEO also reports on any notable examples of actions within the Group that are misaligned with the Group’s stated values at every board meeting.

The directors believe its corporate culture encourages ethical behaviours that benefit its stakeholders and promote the success of the business.

The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the board, ensuring its effectiveness and setting the agenda for board meetings. Once strategic objectives have been agreed by the board, it is the Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility to ensure they are delivered upon and consistently to be accountable to the board. The day to day operations of the Group are managed by the Chief Executive Officer and the wider management team comprising the Chief Investment Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Development Director.

There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Non-Executive Directors. The roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are separate with a distinct division of responsibilities. The separation of authority enhances independent oversight of the executive management by the board and helps to ensure that no one individual on the board has unfettered authority.

The board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value. To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for the overall management and corporate governance of the Group including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. In addition to overall Group strategy, the board approves the annual budget and retains control over corporate activity, material contracts and financing decisions. Management’s role is to implement the strategic plan established by the board and to work within the corporate governance and internal control parameters established by the board. The role of each of the Group’s committees have been explained in Principle 5 above.
