2. Business and geographical segments

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

The Group's reportable segments have been determined in accordance with the activity of the Group, focusing on key market sectors. Principally, this splits the Group into two business areas being:

  • Aerospace, Defence & Energy (ADE); and
  • Automotive & General Industrial (AGI).

This initial split is determined following consideration of factors including the different customer sets, differing service requirements and different characteristics of business activity. A further split is then made for the geographical divisions of the Group being:

  • Western Europe
  • North America; and
  • Emerging Markets.
