Our Framework

The Board

The Board comprises four Executive Directors, including the Executive Chairman, and four Non-Executive Directors. 

There are clear and documented roles and separation of duties between the Chairman and the CEO. 

  • The CEO is responsible for determining the Alfa strategy and day-to-day operations, and leading the Company Leadership Team, which assists in the day-to-day delivery of this strategy and general operations. 
  • The Chairman provides oversight and guidance to the CEO on the strategic direction, key commercial and contracting decisions, in addition to his responsibilities for running an effective Board. 

The Non-Executive Directors are independent. They bring wide and varied commercial experience to Board deliberations. All Directors have access to the advice of the Company Secretary.
