Our Devolved Structure
The Group adopts a flat decentralised management structure. The devolved nature of the Group ensures accountability for operating performance lies with each operating company, while the flat structure means that the Executive Directors stay very close to the Group’s operating businesses.
The Group Chief Executive and Group Finance Director meet with each of our twelve operating companies once a month to review and discuss their operating and financial performance.
In addition to providing strategic direction, financial expertise and governance, the Group shares best practice and co-ordinates IT, procurement, property, pensions, energy, engineering and communication activities. The total number of employees at the Group level remains fewer than 50 out of a total of around 25,000.
* Before amortisation and exceptional items
+ Our rail operation, Govia, is 65% owned by Go-Ahead and 35% by Keolis. Keolis is a French-based operator of passenger transport services which is part owned by the French national railway SNCF.
