Our vision
UK boards are the most dynamic in the world.
Their non-executive board members bring the optimum mix of skills, experiences and perspectives, which enable the company to maximise performance for shareholders, employees, customers, the environment and society.
Our mission
Free access to board roles, and a inclusive and welcoming community.
The non-exec community is known for its exclusive clubs, invite-only groups and job sites that charge candidates to view roles. We are the opposite. We remove any possible barriers to candidates hearing about roles. We welcome all, and particularly encourage those who are currently under-represented on boards to consider applying for a board role.
Make sure the people who will make a board more dynamic hear about the role.
All too often not enough of the right people hear about a non-exec vacancy due to a lack of advertising, and a lack of data to enable companies (and their search firms) to find the right candidates. We take a data-led approach. We have extensive data on our candidate community and can we reach out to those who meet the brief to encourage them to apply.

Whilst we are launching a disrupter to the NED recruitment market, neither of us are recruiters: I’m a banker-turned-entrepreneur and I’m a NED on two company boards; and Scarlett is a (self professed) governance geek. We are millennials …
