Deputy Chair (Chair Designate) and Non-Executive Director The Organisation A substantial privately owned industrial services business operating at scale across its sector is strengthening the independence and formality of its governance. The Board is responsible for strategic direction, financial performance and risk oversight of the core trading business, working closely with the executive team. It currently comprises the Chair, a Non-Executive Director and the CEO as Executive Director, supported by an Audit Committee.

Two new independent directors will join to strengthen the Board’s capability and independence.

The successful candidate will work closely with the incumbent Chair over an agreed transition period, contributing immediately as an effective Non-Executive Director before assuming the Chair role.

Non-Executive Director

enterprise risk oversight and the development of a more mature governance culture, working alongside the incoming Deputy Chair as the organisation strengthens its independent board capability.
