Non Executive Director
|
Steve Mullins is giving us a series of questions and answers on Non Executive Directors. Timely as Goldjobs builds the Goldjobs NED Register. To send your CV - email executives@goldjobs.com quoting NED.
What does the Non-executive Director responsible for compliance actually do?
The key elements that make up the role of the compliance NED are: Ensuring internal policies are sound, supervising contracts and sub-contracts, critically evaluating cost management, auditing internal systems and intelligence (which links to the NED mapping the changing world) and ensures monitoring and control mechanisms are fit for purpose; in short, ensuring that resources are properly used in the pursuance of the corporate mission and not being diverted.
The post supports and challenges the Company Chairman although managed through the NED Chairman, who supports the CEO. A possible candidate for this role could be the Company Secretary of a similar company who has strength and experience in compliance, and also in how to properly support a Company Chairman.
What does the Non-executive Director responsible for values actually do?
This role is concerned with consistency of delivery, as perceived by the market. Perceived values are more influential than delivered values and if the products or services are technically excellent, but service and back-up do not meet expectation the sale, and more likely repeat sales, will be lost. The responsibility is to draw together the strands that encompass: internal values, perceived quality and external communications (PR etc) to ensure a common message with consistency of delivery and relationships; in short, reputation management
A suitable candidate could be the Marketing and Sales Director of a similar organisation who, like those noted above, could take a more focused approach to their role in their own company.

Peter Miller-Smith Talks about Magic of Networking
|
I was recently introduced to a company that had developed an on line questionnaire that reviewed one's networking style. Like many of you, I get most of my clients through recommendation, referral and building relationships through networking.
I'm a fairly seasoned networker, and think I do a reasonable job, but I've always known I could do better-and if I don't try to improve my game then I'm wasting my time going to meetings at all!
I was a bit sceptical but tried this questionnaire and actually found it very helpful - and reminded me of the things I know I need to do better both at the meeting and preparing for it before I go; but never thought anyone would notice if I didn't! The questionnaire saw through me!!
If you're interested in learning more click here to know more, and if you want to take the questionnaire the price is £25 plus VAT.
"The ability to network effectively is THE
main weapon in the armoury of anyone wanting to land their next job."

During times of change and uncertainty it is good to know that whatever your industry sector there are skilled experts available who have been there, seen it and got the T shirt many times before.
This is very much what the interim executive is all about. An interim executive can be parachuted into your business to accomplish a series of tasks or help you make and implement decisions in stressful and unfamiliar times.
Vantis Interim Management and Placement Services (VIMPS) has joined forces with GoldJobs to offer clients access to its interim executives. Headed up by Susan Moor, VIMPS have a network of knowledgeable individuals with the type of skills that businesses need today. They can guide companies , whether the challenges faced relate to growth and expansion or distress and underperformance. They can benefit businesses of all sizes, from small companies to global corporations. Vantis can provide an interim executive who has the qualifications, experience and skills required to help you as well as the temperament required to propel through the changes. You receive a shortlist in 24-48 hours to enable you to select a suitable interim executive (who can be in place in 4-5 days). Assignments can be as short as a month or as long as the situation requires, although 9-12 months is considered the longest term.
The VIMPS network only works at senior management or board level and covers such functions as Chief Executive Officer, Finance Director, and various operational and commercial roles. The network also includes senior Non- Executive Directors and Chairpersons to help guide, mentor and challenge any preconceived ideas.
The degree of flexibility on offer is impressive both in terms of industry sector experience, as well as languages spoken (many of our candidates have gained their experience in continental Europe).

| Weissknight Corporate Finance: launched by a French banker in London: |
 Weissknight was established to meet the demand of companies looking for independent advice on company valuation and for specific investment banking services. We are dedicated to serve the UK and European companies looking for raising funds, restructuring their capital structure, or finding financial buyers based in London.
"Over the past 3 months, the demand for our services has been very high, and far more than expected. The demand for our M&A services is also very high, and the "poor" value of the Pound against Euro helps a lot. We see an increasing number of European companies willing to buy UK companies, either fully private mid market ones, or owned by VCs or PEs.
If you are interested in partnering with us, if you are able to originate and execute mid-market deals, please feel free to contact us directly.
