Management of the Met Office
In 2011 the Met Office became a Trading Fund within the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). As a Trading Fund we are required to operate on a commercial basis and meet agreed targets as set by our Ministerial Owner.
Our owner
The ultimate responsibility and accountability for the work of the Met Office lies with the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.
The Met Office is a member of the Public Data Group, which has been set up to build on the capabilities and existing best practice to seek to support growth in the UK economy by delivering improvements in public services through its members. These objectives are additional and incremental to those with which the PDG members are already individually charged.
The PDG is an Advisory Board, providing advice to the Minister(s) responsible for all members and for the PDG itself.
The PDG works closely with the Data Strategy Board, who act as an intelligent customer advising government on commissioning and purchasing services and key data, to maximise the value of those data and services for long-term economic and social benefit.
More information on the Public Data Group can be found on the web site:
Our board
The Met Office Board's primary responsibility is developing the long-term strategy of the Met Office. The board supports and challenges our Executive in order to assist it in delivering against BPMs. The Non-Executive Directors of the board are encouraged to assist in raising external awareness of the Met Office and our work, and to build beneficial external relationships.
