Ms McCall is best known as the head of easyjet, Ms Parsons is co-founder of DeCoded, Mr Carter is group CEO of Informa and Mr Quickenden is Managing Partner at Boston Consulting Group.

Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said: “These non-executive appointments to the board highlight the department’s commitment to strengthening our relationship with key business sectors.
