About The Board Directory

The Board Directory is the premier resource for businesses seeking exceptional Non-Executive Directors and for NEDs looking to find their next appointment.

Our Story

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.
