NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD

MEET OUR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Our non-executive directors provide an independent oversight regarding how the company is run. Their role is to provide a creative contribution and objective criticism to discussions with the Senior Management Team. They also contribute to the development strategy of the services provided by Direct Mediation Services, but not to the day-to-day running of the company.
