Karen McCullough
Royal Navy Commander
Incredibly well delivered course. Great mixture of group work, examples and relevant learning content.
Damian Clayton
Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
An exceptionally worthwhile course which exceeded my expectations.
Si Bradley
British Army Colonel
Excellent. Light-hearted delivery with plenty of relevant and entertaining examples. I am now much more confident about my own company and about actively seeking a NED role.
Vivienne Buck
British Army Brigadier | Royal Military Police Provost Marshal
I feel better prepared for the boardroom: what to look for and questions to ask! Also, relaxed, and personable delivery.
Henry Merewether
Royal Navy Commander
Very relevant and outstanding course delivered by an independently successful, knowledgeable, and highly professional team.
Martyn Williams
Royal Navy Commodore
The programme more than achieved my aims of understanding the NED role, opportunities and network… I feel very well prepped for future opportunities.
Simon Stockley
British Army Brigadier
I feel so much better prepared to not only accept an NED role but also responsibilities in an Exec role.
Jacqui Hetherington
British Army Lieutenant Colonel
Excellent delivery, really engaging, and brought the topic to life. Perfect pace and great use of the information.
Jamie Elliot
Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
Valuable content delivered with personality and credible experience.
Tim Law
British Army Brigadier
As an existing company director, the course was highly relevant in determining where my experience differed from the best practice introduced in this course, especially in the areas of governance, strategy and finance. I am planning on embracing the education I received to build a broader portfolio of commercial and non-profit non-executive board memberships that will enable me to add value to organisations whose values and objectives resonate with my own.
Iain Nichols
British Army Lieutenant Colonel
A really thought-provoking, informative, fun and useful course – delivered professionally, and with invaluable insights from a highly experienced, industry-leading practitioner. Some challenging content, with considerable work required to consolidate learning but I consider this course to provide a key foundation for my future business career.
Nick O’Sullivan
Former Royal Marines Major
I want to say a massive thank you – the course was excellent! I absolutely have a better understanding of how the military skill set fits in at Boardroom level. The overlay of your insights into what the role actually meant and our obligations as a NED was vital and so valuable. I am hugely excited to feel I’m on the brink of a further, hugely rewarding career.
Ivana-Maria Carrioni-Burnett
Former Royal Navy Commissioned Officer
Thank you for the wonderful Non-Executive Director programme. The tutors were very engaging and it was hugely encouraging to hear from personal experience and not just the theory. Your positivity and enthusiasm are hugely infectious and you gave us all a lot of confidence.
Karim Homsey
Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
A very interesting and insightful course that gave a strong introduction to becoming a non-executive director. It also introduced the information required and how to make your mark on the board using the skills already acquired as a military officer. A solid grounding for a career in civilian life.
Callum Clowes
Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
It was an excellent course with some rich learning content. I would thoroughly recommend it to colleagues going through resettlement again.
William Entwisle
Former Royal Navy Rear Admiral
I much enjoyed the Non-Executive Programme, it gave me a level of confidence that I might be of use to someone if I decide to go that way. It was the best piece of the resettlement process that I undertook.
Robert Graham
British Army Major
Extremely useful and eye-opening, brilliant exposure.
Andrew Garbutt
Royal Air Force Wing Commander
Excellent in all respects. Good balance of theory discussion, real-world examples and insights and tools.
Jonathan Dawson
Former British Army Captain
Firstly, thank you for putting the programme together. The training that you gave on NED roles and responsibilities was excellent, as were the finance and strategy modules that followed. There is a lot to think about and still work through, but I feel that I have great foundations from which to do so.
Kevin Hood
Former Royal Navy Captain
Great value and very high-quality training and mentoring with a plethora of personal experience and knowledge backing it up.
Tim Harris MBE
Former British Army Lieutenant Colonel
The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and really helped to demystify the subjects covered. I thought the approach of ‘facilitating’, rather than ‘preaching’ was brilliant.
Dean Andrew
Royal Air Force Air Commodore
An amazing eye-opening experience that will hopefully open doors. Your understanding of the gap between military leavers and civilian requirements on boards is simply outstanding.
Robert Anstey
Royal Navy Commander
The Non-Executive Director Programme was fascinating and brilliantly delivered – can’t fault it. A must for the aspiring NED.
Richard Powell
Royal Navy Commodore
This was an outstanding course delivered in a faultless manner.
Andrew Kirkpatrick
Former Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
Superbly interactive. Insightful and confidence building. Very useful for me as a Limited Company and also as a NED.
Nick Nottingham OBE
Former British Army Brigadier
A really excellent way of equipping potential NEDs from a military background with the wherewithal to find and tackle their first appointment with confidence.
Chris Shone
Royal Air Force Squadron Leader
Learnt loads of new info about ‘nedding’, very excited about future prospects. The finance tutor was very good at taking us through the challenges of finance.
