Contact Ned Capital

Whether you are appointing a non-executive director, a board chair, a committee chair or a trustee, we would welcome a conversation. NED Capital is a specialist board and non-executive search practice, and every enquiry is taken personally by our founder, Adrian Lawrence FCA — there is no account-management layer and no junior research team.

Discuss a Board or NED Appointment

If you are a chair, chief executive, investor or board looking to make an appointment, the best place to start is a direct conversation. Adrian Lawrence FCA, a Fellow of the ICAEW and former listed-company Finance Director, takes every initial enquiry personally. Most briefs can be scoped in a single call, with a clear timeline and fee structure agreed before any search activity begins. NED Capital operates on a no placement, no fee basis.

Whether you are a business seeking its first non-executive director, a private equity-backed company strengthening its board ahead of an exit, an FCA-regulated firm making an SMF board appointment, or a charity that needs experienced trustees, our response starts with a genuine conversation about what your board needs.

How We Work With You

From defining the brief to presenting a shortlist, we work closely with you to understand your board, your governance context and the specific gap you need to fill. We assess every candidate against the requirements of the role and the independence criteria of the relevant governance framework, and we handle every search with the discretion these appointments require. Our approach is consultative and tailored — never a one-size-fits-all process — and every search is led personally by Adrian from brief to appointment.
