The Board

Bowleven is led by an experienced management team focused on delivering our current objective of converting resources to reserves by a commercial development of Etinde, our most valuable asset.

 

In view of the current size of the Board, no delegation of specific responsibilities has been made to committees at this stage. The Board does not consider it appropriate to also adopt terms of reference to establish audit, remuneration, and nominations committees in the short term. This will be reviewed along with the appointment of an additional non-executive director and the implementation of committees will be considered at the appropriate time in line with changes to the structure, size, and composition of the Board.
