Non-executive Search
Driving strategic oversight, culture and purpose to your organisation
Chairs and Non-Executive Directors play key role in any organisation’s governance, but they also have the potential to do so much more than that. The right people can provide valuable independent mindsets and bring fresh creative and strategic thinking to tackle challenges. They can also embrace ambassadorial roles that help develop connections and drive growth. This is why we apply the same, rigorous, approach to NED briefs that we take to Executive Search. We deploy our full range of resources, skills and experience, including access to our NXD Academy and Development Programme, alongside a rigorous search methodology and working collaboratively with you, we will build a progressive Chair or NED profile and provide innovative thinking on how best to attract the expertise that will empower your business to overcome challenges, drive change and help you achieve, or exceed, corporate ambitions.

Our service can be adapted to match individual clients’ requirements. We have designed it to give the clearest possible picture of the full range of factors influencing decision making.

They examine how well an individual will work and lead as well as revealing traits which could emerge in times of stress and which might, if left unaddressed, derail an individual’s chances of success. We can also provide guidance and access to other effective psychometric and ability testing tools and industry-leading assessment centres.
