  • Chair's Introduction
    Governance statement I have also met with a number of our major customers. I see it as an important part of the Chair’s role to have a strong relationship with key customers that complements the depth and breadth of the Group’s management relationships, through a programme of regular senior-level meetings. I intend to develop this role further, and am committed to supporting the continued improving momentum of dialogue with our primary customers. We have been pleased to welcome customers to participate in a number of contract reviews at the Board during the year. I have also enjoyed meeting many of Babcock’s shareholders to hear, directly from them, their views, concerns and Ruth Cairnie priorities. The Board and I are clear about Chair the importance of corporate governance and its role in the long-term success of the Group. Purpose and culture Chair’s introduction At the Board we recognise the essential role that a clear purpose and a strong corporate culture play in assuring the I am pleased to present my first Group’s long-term success. During the year the Board has worked to clarify Chair’s report on the work of the Babcock’s purpose, which we describe on Babcock Board. Since joining the page 10, and we expect to do more on Board in April last year, I have focused this over the coming year. This purpose is underpinned by the corporate culture, much time engaging with Babcock’s based on strong values that I found in stakeholders in order to get a real evidence across my induction visits.
