British Expertise is fortunate that a group of very eminent people make available the benefit of their expert advice, knowledge and networking ability. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to advise and assist the Board of Directors in relation to the strategy, policies and objectives of the Company, rather than matters of day to day management.
