Recruitment of Independent Non-Executive Members of The Board of Directors for Construction Product Information

THE OPPORTUNITIES

Construction Product Information Ltd (CPI Ltd) was set up in 2021 to guard, administer and manage the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI), to manage its development and also to deliver independent verification of conformance to the Code. CPI Ltd continues to be owned by the Construction Product Association. However, CPI Ltd is established at ‘arms length’ from industry as a not-for-profit organisation with independent governance structure managed by an independent Non-Executive Chair and Non-Executive Board of Directors.

THE ROLE

The role of a Non-Executive Director (NED) is to work with the Independent Non-Executive Chairman and CPI Ltd Chief Executive to deliver the CCPI’s vision and ensure the effective operation, development, and stewardship of the organisation’s strategy.

Each NED should have experience of serving on high performing boards and of providing strategic thinking and insight. As well as being an excellent and persuasive communicator you will be used to engaging a broad range of stakeholders at the very highest level of industry and government. Your personal gravitas and collaborative approach will mean that you are a credible and effective influencer, and you will leverage these exceptional skills to build strong and impactful relationships.
