About NE1

The company is run by an Executive Committee comprising eight members and its work is overseen by a Board of Directors representing key sectors of the Newcastle business community. The primary goal of the Board is to ensure that the company's strategy creates long-term value for business.  The Board meets on a quarterly basis.
