Confidential appointment · AIM-listed retailer

NED Capital is retained on a confidential basis to appoint an independent non-executive director to the board of an established, profitable AIM-listed retail business. The company is a well-run, cash-generative operator with a long trading history and a clear, disciplined strategy, and the board is seeking to strengthen its independent financial expertise as part of ongoing board development.

This is an opportunity to join the board of a genuinely sound listed company — not a turnaround or a distressed situation, but a stable, well-governed business looking to add depth and independent challenge at board level. The successful candidate will bring senior financial credibility, listed-company governance experience, and the independent judgement that a public-company board depends on.

The Role

As an independent non-executive director, you will contribute to the board’s oversight of strategy, performance, risk and financial integrity, and provide constructive independent challenge to the executive team. Given the board’s current priority, the role carries a particular focus on financial oversight: you will play a central part in the work of the audit committee, and the appointment is structured with a view to the successful candidate taking on the audit committee chair in due course as part of planned board succession.

You will bring independent judgement to the boardroom, support and hold the executive to account in equal measure, and help ensure the company continues to meet the governance standards expected of a listed business. This is a full board role with the responsibilities and duties of a company director, not an advisory position.
