Non-Executive Directors
OSA Recruitment and the Institute of Directors (IoD) have joined ranks to create an official appointment register for local non-executive directors (NEDs).
The register will act as a key source of introductions to local businesses and reflect best practices in director selection as suggested in the Higgs Report (January 2003) and other similar guidance.
As a member of the OSA Non-Executive Director Enterprise, NEDs can both promote themselves and be kept abreast of potential opportunities in their field. Above all they can be comfortable in the knowledge that with the assistance of regular updates from the IoD on director development and their support of the service, they are working to high standards and with the utmost professionalism.
Ian Kirk, Chairman of IoD Guernsey Branch said; ‘For some time we have become aware that there was a need for a register of directors in Guernsey as concern has been expressed, that the pool of directors may be becoming a little shallow.
I believe it is important that businesses both large and small can have access to a register of directors setting out the specialisations and skills that those directors have.
‘This initiative was undertaken in response to IoD member comments that they wished to see as a large pool as possible of suitably qualified and available Non-Executive Directors in the market place and also to evolving corporate governance standards. The very successful Chartered Director Programme in Guernsey together with the Non-Executive Director Enterprise evidence the IoD’s strong commitment to director development and having Guernsey as the leading centre for top quality directors.’
Nick Graham, managing director of OSA said; ‘OSA is delighted to be working with the IoD in this enterprise. We are dedicated in representing high calibre non executive directors benefiting the island’s business economy by providing strategic direction to organisations through the knowledge and experience of these professional individuals.’
The website will be made available to prospective and serving directors in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man with its central base at OSA in Guernsey.
