The GGF Board is actively seeking to elect a new Member to represent the small to medium sized businesses within the Federation. The SME Representative on the GGF Board will be required to attend four Board meetings per year – though some additional meetings are required from time to time. The position is a voluntary role with expenses paid in line with the GGF expenses guidelines.

(NB: According to the UK Companies Act, in the UK a small business is defined as having between 11-50 employees and a turnover not more than £6.5m, a Medium sized business is defined as having between 51-250 employees and a turnover not more than £12.9m.)
