Our members are the NEDs and Chairs of financial services organisations. Our network is now over 500 NEDs and growing every day. We’re here to introduce you to peers and help you compare notes, as well as engage with policy makers on your behalf.
Membership of NEDs in FS
Our organisation was founded to meet the needs of NEDs and Chairs, and our members represent firms across financial services in the UK – many of whom also bring experience from other regions and sectors.
Although the majority of our members have at least one current NED role in a regulated firm, we also appreciate the contribution made by other senior individuals in our discussions and support those who are looking for their first NED role. For this reason we offer a limited number of Associate Memberships. We review all applications to ensure Associate Members have relevant and valuable industry experience.
All Members and Associate Members are invited to attend our regular ‘Forum’ events. We offer around 10 sessions per year, discussing current topics relevant to the NED community, attended by around 25-50 NEDs. In addition as part of our growing membership you will have access to our jobs board, first sight of our training courses, and invitations to one off events such as sectoral roundtables, regional dinners and networking drinks.
Individual membership of NEDs in FS has an an annual fee of £150+VAT (or £250+VAT for Associate Members). Take a look at our past events to get a feel for what we offer, and if you’re interested, we encourage you to come along to one of our sessions free of charge to get to know us.
Corporate supporters
We are proud to be supported by both regulated financial services firms and professional services firms who work with them. These firms support our belief in the importance of non-executive directors to the UK financial services industry and help us to spread the word.
We work closely with Corporate Supporters to develop their Boards through membership and training for their non-execs, bespoke Board development, and priority and exclusive participation in our smaller events such as meetings with government and regulators, and sessions for Chairs and Company Secretaries. Get in touch to discuss how we can work together.
We also work with a limited number of Corporate Partners who contribute through hosting events and sharing thought leadership as well as supporting our wider purpose. As this new initiative develops we will share more information.
