Board Register of Interests

Members of our Board are required to register any interests, commercial, political or organisational, that they believe may be relevant to the perception of their conduct as a DNC board member. Directors are, however, still required to declare a Conflict of Interest, or an Interest, and have that recorded in the Minutes at the earliest reasonable occasion.

As of 1 May 2026.
