About NED Capital

At NED Capital, we specialise in connecting forward-thinking organisations with exceptional non-executive directors (NEDs), board chairs, and fractional C-suite executives. Our mission is to empower businesses across the UK by enhancing their governance, strategic direction, and overall boardroom effectiveness.

Effective trustee and board advisory recruitment is about more than just filling positions—it’s about building boards that can drive impact, sustainability, and growth. At NED Capital, we carefully assess each candidate’s governance experience, sector knowledge, and ability to contribute strategically to the organisation’s mission.

For charities and not-for-profits, this ensures trustees can provide robust oversight while championing the organisation’s values. For corporate boards, advisory appointments bring targeted expertise in areas such as finance, technology, or strategic expansion. Our approach guarantees that every board member or advisor appointed enhances the board’s overall capability, resilience, and capacity to make informed, strategic decisions.
