Getting a leg up. It starts early. Helping your mate hop a fence or giving a friend a boost onto the climbing frame. Fast forward a few decades… and the principle’s the same. Except now it’s boardrooms, business growth, and strategic direction. Everyone needs a leg up - especially founders. A well-placed Non-Executive Director isn’t just a sounding board - they’re often the difference between navigating blind and scaling with confidence. They bring networks. Experience. The lessons from getting it wrong - and getting it very right. I’ve seen first-hand how a single NED can transform the path of a business. - Helping raise capital. - Making key hires. - Avoiding the potholes others don’t see coming. If you're navigating the potholes and need a steer, let our team help with finding the right advisor!
