The review indicated that HRH was highly valued by UK businesses and that he should continue to develop the role as a unique and highly valuable UK asset. The Government agreed and provided strong endorsement with increased funding to support the Duke's activities. As a result of the review, the Duke has developed a strategy to take the role forward making the most effective use of time, ongoing relationships, geography, focusing on where he has greatest potential to have greatest impact. A primary dimension of focus is geographic, emerging markets and territories with a longer-term ruling/ governing counterpart. He will focus on supporting key international trade sectors, larger UK international businesses and operating in smaller forums. A key outcome is seen as remaining versatile and be able to respond to high priority demands and opportunities. Following the strategic review, the Duke also needs to develop his private office, which the role has outgrown. As part of this development, a Senior Business Adviser is required to support the effective delivery of HRH's strategy. The Senior Business Adviser Role The Senior Business Adviser is a new advisory role supporting HRH. In parallel with the Duke's Private Secretaries, responsibilities will include: • Advising on strategic sector and country priorities for the Duke to support • Advising and supporting high-level strategic relationship development with Government and the business community • Ongoing feedback and challenge for the Duke's role The Duke will have a Special Advisory Panel, which will consist of senior business executives each specialising in key geographic, sector and functional areas of the Duke's activities. In the short term, the Senior Business Adviser will be involved in the development of this group, as existing members rotate off and new members are invited to join. The Panel meets quarterly and the Senior Business Advisor chairs these meetings. The expected time commitment for this role is 1-2 days per month and the initial tenure of the role is likely to be 2-3 years. No remuneration is offered for the position.
