Appointment services
We offer a range of board appointment services. We discuss your requirements with you, and develop and deliver a mix of services specific to your board's needs:
IoD members
Our candidates are IoD members, committed to following our Code of Practice for directors.
Many candidates are Chartered Members of the IoD. Chartered membership shows you that candidates meet the standards of the governance profession and are committed to professional development. Their knowledge, character, and experience make Chartered Members role models for other IoD members, their organisations, and the governance community.
The calibre of the directors the IoD provided us with was unbelievable. Anyone on the short list would have been perfect, and it’s amazing those people wanted to be on our board.
