Structure
The trust is structured as a company limited by guarantee. It was initially governed by a board appointed by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, and managed on a day-to-day basis by an executive team. However, as part of the move away from being an arms length body of the Government the Trust has established an entirely new board. Dame Suzi Leather was appointed as the first Chair of the trust, but resigned a year later when appointed as Chair of the Charity Commission. Baroness Maggie Jones was appointed interim Chair in August 2006.
In November 2006, Prue Leith was named as the chair.
In January 2010, Rob Rees was named as the chair after Prue Leith retired her position.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
