Organisation structure

Our strategic direction is set by the UK Border Agency Board. Our organisation is divided into five unified operations:

  • borders;
  • international;
  • immigration;
  • intelligence;
  • criminality and detention.

Each operational area is lead by a director. Our operational areas are supported by two corporate service directorates.

In March 2008 we appointed a senior police officer to the board as a non-executive director. This appointment was recommended in the Cabinet Office report Security in a Global Hub to encourage closer collaboration between the Agency, the police and other law enforcement agencies.

In April 2008 we appointed senior officials from HM Revenue & Customs and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to the board.

The UK Border Agency Board is made up of the following members:

  • Lin Homer, Chief Executive
  • Jonathan Sedgwick, Deputy Chief Executive
  • Brodie Clark, Border Force
  • Matthew Coats, Immigration Group
  • Barbara Woodward, International Group
  • David Wood, Criminality and Detention Group
  • Martin Peach, Intelligence Group
  • Joe Dugdale, Human Resources and Organisational Development
  • Justin Holliday, Resource Management
  • Tamara Finkelstein, UK Border Agency Programme
  • Chief Constable Roger Baker, Essex Police, Non-Executive Director
  • James Bevan, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Non-Executive Director
  • Mike Eland, HM Revenue & Customs, Non-Executive Director
  • Mike Hawker, Non-Executive Director
