At Board level the members with remuneration are the Chair and Chief Executive and the Membership Secretary. Their remuneration varies according to role, specified tasks and the time expected of them. Other Board members make available time and expertise as volunteers to take Wrestling forward.

Board: As above, the current percentage of women on the Board is 30%

Executive: Executive functions are carried out by Colin Nicholson and Barry Pollin, thus the percentage of women carrying out executive functions is currently 0%
