The Board

The Board sets the strategic direction of VIVID and its subsidiaries. They make sure we’re always one step ahead by looking to the future. It means we’re well set up to achieve our ambitions and keep delivering what our customers need. They keep a close eye on the services we provide, monitoring our performance and how well we’re managing our finances.
