What is the structure of a business organisation?

International Racecourse Management (I.R.M) Ltd was founded in 1990 by the current Chief Executive, John Sanderson. I.R.M´s core business is the management of horse racecourses. At present the company holds contracts to manage three racecourses in England, Catterick Bridge, Doncaster and Redcar, as well as holding consultancy agreements with racecourses in Vietnam and the Czech Republic. In addition to this I.R.M are regularly approached by other leading racecourses enquiring as to whether they could employ their services.
