British Wool (officially known as the British Wool Marketing Board) manages the central marketing system for wool, operating comprehensive processes for collecting, evaluating, auctioning, marketing, and advocating for fleece wool. It is the last agricultural commodity board still active in the UK. Their Head Office is in Bradford, and they operate a network of 8 grading depots and 100 collection sites across the UK. There are British Wool offices in Japan and China, and they have two subsidiaries which perform commercial activities for third parties. Revenues in the 2023 clip year were £17.3 million and the business has around 150 full-time employees.
The Board is made up of nine non-executive regionally elected board members, representing nine different regions of the UK, and 2 independent non-executive members, jointly appointed by Ministers in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We are currently looking for two new independent Board Members, one from a finance background to chair the audit committee and another from a commercial or sales and marketing background.
Both positions will be remunerated at a rate of £9,218 (gross) per annum and require a time commitment of roughly 2.5 days per month. More detail on the specifics can be found in the attached candidate pack.
