Individuals are appointed to the agency board in recognition of the personal contribution they can make to the work of the agency and not as representatives of particular bodies. They do, of course, bring to bear experience in relevant fields of activity, including industry, property, small businesses, higher education, local government and trades unions, and appointments are made with a view to having an appropriate balance of experience and interests.
