About the Board Practice
Today’s challenging commercial, regulatory, and structural environment, puts more pressure on Board effectiveness and good governance than ever before. A Board with experienced and talented Directors is a necessary and key asset for any organisation looking for sustainable growth whilst balancing and managing risk.
BREADTH AND DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE
We understand that senior executives look to their Boards to provide judgment and counsel to support them in achieving business objectives. Our Board Practice draws on over forty years of experience. It is high-calibre, personal, and collegiate, ensuring long-term client partnerships with high levels of repeat business and an unrivalled completion rate.
The Norman Broadbent Board Practice has supported many clients across a wide range of sectors, working with FTSE and AIM listed, private or family-owned businesses, Not-for Profit, Government Owned and small to medium-sized organisations. We have expertise in placing Chairs, Senior Independent and Non-Executive Directors, and Board Committee Chairs, to help clients achieve top performing Boards. Working collaboratively with our sector specialists, we combine expertise, diligence, and experience to attract business critical talent to our clients’ Boards.
DIVERSE APPOINTMENTS
We appreciate that the need for balance, independence, and diversity of thought and background on a Board is acute and are proud that Norman Broadbent is a founding signatory to the Voluntary Code for executive search firms. We are proud of the track record we have garnered in helping our clients succeed with effective and diverse appointments. But we are not complacent. We know that there is more work to do and that Norman Broadbent has its part to play in helping UK Boards reach a gold standard of inclusion and diversity.
BOARD EFFECTIVENESS REVIEWS
In addition to Search, we offer Board Effectiveness Reviews and Skills Assessments to comply with regulatory requirements for evaluation and to enable our clients to think of their board’s value-add and dynamic ‘in the round’. As a welcome additional benefit, delivering these reviews also enables our Board consultants to stay highly current on the latest best practice, and to share the characteristics of high performing boards with our clients.
A PERSONAL APPROACH AND YOUR BRAND AMBASSADOR
Our Board Practice approach is personal, in that those who win mandates also execute them. Consultants take time to understand your organisation, the challenges and complexities you face, your culture and the requirements for the role. With our collective experience delivering Board Effectiveness Reviews, advising on Board composition and executing searches, we are well positioned to partner and advise on Board composition and succession planning. You can also rest assured that Norman Broadbent prides itself on acting as a true ambassador for your business when we go out to the marketplace on your behalf.
