Typically, 'Non Execs' will have considerable business experience at the most senior levels. They will be used to advise the Board on matters such as the company's strategy and performance. Because they are employed on a part time basis, they can advise from a more detached perspective than the full time Board members and, where necessary, effectively challenge their plans.

Mitchells Search & Selection has an enviable track record in placing Non-Executive Directors, particularly those relating to 'turn-round' situations. For this purpose we have exclusive arrangements with an elite group of 'Top Table' business people, including ex CEOs and Main Board Directors of major plcs.
