The Company is an investment finance company and the investment policy is to hold strategic stakes in a few smaller UK quoted companies and maintain a diversified portfolio of U.K. listed equities, together with a few holdings on AIM, PLUS and some unlisted shares. Strategic Investments are minority positions where the Board seeks to maintain a close working relationship with the management of the investee. Western is represented on the boards of three of its four Strategic Investments. The general portfolio is managed by two non-executive directors, Andrew Hall and Michael Robotham, and the Board as a whole takes decisions in relation to both strategic and unlisted investments.
