Non Executive board recruitment.

A non-executive director (NED) may not be involved in the day-to-day running of the business but adds real value to your company. NEDs are typically appointed for their experience and expertise in a particular area, such as finance, law, or marketing.

They play an important role in providing oversight and challenge to the executive team, and in helping to set the company's strategic direction. Recruiting the right board members is crucial.

The specific duties and responsibilities of NEDs will vary depending on the size and type of company, but they typically include:

• Providing constructive challenge and support to the executive team
• Overseeing the company's risk management and internal controls
• Approving the company's strategic plan and budget
• Setting the company's values and standards
• Ensuring that the company complies with all relevant laws and regulations
• Remunerating the executive team
• Appointing and removing executive directors

NEDs are also expected to act independently and in the best interests of the company as a whole. This means that they should not be influenced by their own personal or financial interests, or by the interests of any particular shareholder group. Playing an important role in the UK corporate governance system. They help to ensure that companies are well-managed and operate in a responsible and ethical manner in addition to bringing in a wealth of experience, knowledge and industry connections.

Here are some of the benefits of having NEDs on a company board:

• NEDs can provide independent and objective advice to the executive team.
• NEDs can help to identify and mitigate risks.
• NEDs can bring new ideas and perspectives to the board.
• NEDs can help to improve the company's corporate governance practices.
• NEDs can enhance the company's reputation with investors and other stakeholders.
