An organisation for offshore non-executive directors has been launched in Jersey.
Club NED aims to help NEDs find new positions with boards in offshore jurisdictions, and to help boards fill vacant roles.
Founded and run by Shelley Kendrick (pictured), Managing Director of Jersey-based executive recruitment consultancy Kendrick Rose, the club is exclusively focused on offshore NEDs.
NEDs based in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man can join for free, and the club is also open to executive directors looking for their first NED job. However, membership is by selection.
Shelley said: “Club NED is designed to match non-executive directors to suitable roles with offshore boards.
"There is a growing demand for non-executive directors with the relevant skills to work with boards across industries – not just in financial services but in technology, compliance, media, marketing, human resources, academia, sustainable development, legal and utilities.
"We work with a wide range of offshore organisations, helping companies, the voluntary sector, and non-governmental organisations all find exceptional talent for their boards.”
In addition to its NED recruitment services, Club NED members will receive preferential rates with selected partners, and invitations to exclusive networking events once it is safe for these to commence.
Shelley added: “Club NED can help you find out about non-executive director jobs and other NED opportunities you might never have thought of, and then support you through the recruitment process.
"Covid-19 has changed the way individuals and businesses operate, causing many of us to re-evaluate what we want to do and where we want to live. This is about breaking down the barriers to becoming a non-executive director and creating new career paths for talented individuals across industries.”
