In many ways, the Company has "co-operative" aims and objectives but it is managed on more conventional business lines because the founder members were only too aware at the outset of the dangers of managing by committee. If you took that concept a stage further and thought that a committee of fishermen could run a Company then you would qualify for immediate psychiatric assistance. If you were looking for agreement, one fisherman in a room is enough for an argument, two will cause a fight and three or more would be the start of a mass brawl.
The Company has a Board of six Directors, three of whom are non executive Directors. In addition the Company usually has about 23 employees of whom 12 are engaged on the evening shift, six on the morning shift, two are drivers and six including three of the Directors man the office and carry out a host of other duties because of their versatile skills.
