Organisation structure
Our strategic direction is set by the UK Border Agency Board. Our organisation is divided into five unified operations:
- borders;
- international;
- immigration;
- intelligence;
- criminality and detention.
Each operational area is lead by a director. Our operational areas are supported by two corporate service directorates.
In March 2008 we appointed a senior police officer to the board as a non-executive director. This appointment was recommended in the Cabinet Officer report Security in a Global Hub to encourage closer collaboration between the Agency, the police and other law enforcement agencies.
In April 2008 we appointed senior officials from HM Revenue and Customs and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the board.
The UK Border Agency Board is made up of the following members:
- Lin Homer, Chief Executive
- Jonathan Sedgwick, Deputy Chief Executive
- Brodie Clark, Border Force
- Matthew Coats, Immigration Group
- Mark Sedwill, International Group
- Criminality and Detention Group - board member to be appointed
- Martin Peach, Intelligence
- Joe Dugdale, Human Resources and Organisational Development
- Justin Holliday, Resource Management
- Tamara Finkelstein, UK Border Agency Programme
- Chief Constable Roger Baker, Essex Police, Non-Executive Director
- James Bevan, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Non-Executive Director
- Mike Eland, HM Revenue & Customs, Non-Executive Director
- Mike Hawker, Non-Executive Director
- Stephen Taylor, Non-Executive Director
