Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee consists of Philip Dayer and Stephen Allen.
The committee is responsible for setting the terms and conditions of employment for the executive directors and met on two

The committee reviews Group performance and arising from those reviews may determine performance related bonuses.

The fees for non-executive directors are set at smaller turnover AIM quoted market rates to attract individuals with the
necessary experience and ability to make a substantial contribution to the Group's affairs and its continued development.
