NEDs in FS is all about connecting. We’re here to bring together Non-Executive Directors and Chairs to share experiences and build networks which help make financial services better. Whether it’s purely social, an opportunity for learning or a roundtable discussion, our events provide a place to compare notes, make connections and have fun. Our events are also a way to canvas and represent views from the boards of the UK’s Financial Services industry to share with policy makers.
