Corporate - Introduction

BAR UK is a UK Limited Company, whose governance is provided by Articles of Association. These are freely provided to Members at time of enrolment, and also upon request.

The organisation operates with a Council (Board) to which a Secretariat reports.

The Board consists of a maximum of 13 Councillors (Directors) who are elected by the membership, and who also reflect the geographic spread of the membership as set out in the Articles of Association.

The Directors are normally the senior person in the UK for their companies in the case of foreign-based airlines, or, in the case of UK-based airlines, hold relevant senior management positions.

The Board of BAR UK is normally chaired by the representative of a non-UK airline.

The current Chair is Mrs Sandra Bloodworth of Royal Brunei Airlines. She is assisted by two Vice Chairs, currently Ms Sian Foster of Virgin Atlantic Airways and Mr Bob Schumacher of Continental Airlines.

All directors are elected by the membership, and re-elected as their term of office expires, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

When vacancies occur between AGMs, the Board is empowered to co-opt new Board members. Those co-opted, and who then wish to retain their places on the Board, are required to stand for election at the following AGM.

The Chairperson, and both Deputy Chairs, are elected by the Board, all Directors already having been elected by the membership.

The Secretariat consists of two employees, a full-time Chief Executive (Mike Carrivick) and part-time Executive Assistant (Elisabeth Haddow) The Board and Secretariat meet regularly, normally six times per annum.
