During the year a number of Directors took on additional appointments outside of their role with NCC Group. The Board considered these appointments and concluded that these appointments did not conflict with NCC Group, and the Director would have sufficient time to devote to NCC Group following the additional appointments, and that the appointments did not result in the Directors concerned being “overboarded”.
