Board meetings and committees

Our boards decide our overall direction, working within a framework agreed with our sponsoring Government department, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It also monitors our performance against targets agreed with DCMS.

  • Reviewing the reliability and integrity of these assurances.

  • Providing an opinion on how well the Board and Accounting Officer are supported in decision making and in discharging their accountability obligations, particularly in respect of financial reporting.

The responsibilities of the ARC cover both VisitBritain and VisitEngland.

The members are William Burton (BTA Board Member) who is the chair, Peter Gowers (BTA Board Member), Nick de Bois CBE (Chairman of the British Tourist Authority), Nigel Wilkinson MBE (VE Advisory Board Member), Lady Victoria Borwick (Chair of VE Advisory Board) and Tim Hurdle (Independent External Member).
