These areas are reflected in Smiths’ new divisional structure
implemented in August 2003. Smiths operates as a decentralised
business, with considerable autonomy and accountability afforded
to our subsidiary companies. We are a public limited company,
listed on the London Stock Exchange. Our customer base is broad
and includes defence contractors, civil airline carriers, petrochemical
manufacturers, telecommunications companies, hospitals and national
governments. For more information on group structure and organisation
see our Annual
Report and Accounts for 2003 .
