Enterprise context

The company designs, manufactures, sources and distributes products used in sport, physical training and recreation. Its portfolio combines performance requirements, consumer safety, material science, licensed intellectual property, seasonal demand and geographically dispersed supply. A product may be used by children, competitive athletes, institutions or casual consumers under conditions the manufacturer cannot fully control. Small weaknesses in design, materials, labelling or quality consistency can therefore create consequences far greater than the selling price.

The Board seeks an Independent Director who can connect product integrity with commercial and financial performance. Revenue growth can be distorted by channel loading, promotional stock, returns, licensing commitments or inventory built for uncertain demand. Export success can also be fragile if product files, chemical content, testing, packaging or origin documentation are inconsistent. The appointee will help ensure that growth rests on products that are protected, traceable,



fairly represented and economically sound.

Core Board mandate

The Director will provide independent oversight of product-safety governance, design control, supplier assurance, export compliance, licensed-brand obligations, channel economics, inventory quality, warranty and recall readiness. The role will also strengthen Audit Committee scrutiny of revenue cut-off, rebates, royalties, tooling, moulds, warranty provisions and obsolete or non-conforming stock.

The Board expects the Director to ask not only whether a product passed a test, but whether the tested construction is the same as the product made and sold. Cost reduction, material substitution and alternate sourcing must remain within controlled specifications. Commercial teams should never be able to convert an unapproved product variation into an accepted market fact.

Strategic and governance agenda

Establish consequence-based product governance. Cla
