The Board Directory is the premier resource for businesses seeking exceptional Non-Executive Directors and for NEDs looking to find their next appointment.
Established in 2015, The Board Directory was founded with a clear vision: to revolutionize how businesses connect with Non-Executive talent. We recognized that finding the right NED with the perfect mix of skills, experience, and cultural fit was often a challenging and time-consuming process.
Our founder, having experienced firsthand the difficulties of both seeking NED positions and finding suitable candidates, decided to create a solution that would address these challenges head-on. What began as a small directory has now grown into the country's most trusted resource for NED appointments.
Today, we pride ourselves on maintaining the most comprehensive and carefully curated directory of Non-Executive Directors in the industry, connecting exceptional talent with businesses that value strategic guidance and expert oversight.
To connect businesses with exceptional Non-Executive Directors who can drive growth, ensure governance, and deliver strategic value while creating meaningful opportunities for NEDs to share their expertise.
We believe that the right NED appointment can transform a business, bringing fresh perspectives, valuable experience, and strategic insight at critical moments in a company's journey.
We maintain the highest standards in our directory, processes, and relationships.
We operate with complete transparency and honesty in all our dealings.
We continuously improve our services and embrace new ideas.
Every NED in our directory is carefully vetted and selected for their exceptional track record, expertise, and ability to add value to boards.
We don't just list directors – we help businesses find the perfect match for their specific needs, culture, and strategic objectives.
Our relationship doesn't end with an appointment. We provide ongoing support to ensure successful board integration and long-term value creation.
