NDA Announces New Organisation Structure
14 November 2007
The NDA has reviewed its senior management structure to ensure that it is best able to deliver its business objectives going forward.
The new structure places a greater focus on the primary functions in support of the NDA’s obligations: Strategy, Assurance, Commercial and Finance.
Each division will be led by a Divisional Director reporting to Chief Executive Dr Ian Roxburgh. A number of other functions, such as HR and Communications will form part of an enhanced Chief Executive’s office.
The independent Director of Health, Safety, Security and Environment will sit within the Assurance Division but the role will maintain direct access to the Chief Executive, Chairman, Chief Regulators and if necessary the Secretary of State. As at present the letters of compliance process and development of the generic repository safety case remain "organisationally separate" to ensure their independence.
The NDA has appointed four Divisional Directors who are also Executive Directors on the NDA Board, these are:
Richard Waite: Divisional Director Strategy
Jim Morse: Divisional Director Assurance
Mark Leggett: Divisional Director Commercial
William Roberts: Chief Finance Officer
Three Directors will be leaving the organisation in March 2008 with Terry Selby and Laurence Williams retiring from the NDA at that point and David Hayes moving on to pursue new challenges. Ian Roxburgh said: "I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all our staff and stakeholders to thank Terry, Laurence and David for the vital work they have done in developing the NDA into the successful organisation it is today."
Ian Roxburgh added: "I am pleased to announce that Alan Rae, previously Nuclear Safety Engineer under Laurence Williams, has been promoted to the position of Health, Safety, Security and Environment Director. Alan will report to Jim Morse, Divisional Director Assurance."
