Sometimes, a fresh pair of eyes is exactly what your business needs. A Non-Executive Director (NED) brings an independent, experienced perspective to your board—supporting your leadership team with strategic advice, financial oversight, and governance expertise.

At EFM, our NEDs are much more than advisors. They’re seasoned professionals with deep expertise across finance, governance, commercial operations, HR, and investment. Each one has walked the path of business growth—and they bring that lived experience directly to your boardroom.

What makes our NEDs different?

1. Unbiased and independent – No internal attachments or investments.
2. Highly experienced – Strategic and financial know-how built from years in senior leadership.
3. Flexible and cost-effective – No full-time commitment. Just the expert input you need, when you need it.

Whether you’re scaling, preparing for investment, or navigating change, an EFM NED gives you:

• Strategic clarity – Shape your business vision and roadmap with confidence.
• Performance oversight – Track progress against KPIs and mentor key team members.
• Stronger governance – Identify risks early and ensure robust controls.
• Financial integrity – Validate your numbers and communicate clearly with shareholders.
• People strategy – Contribute to hiring plans, succession, and executive remuneration.
• Sustained growth – Align strategic initiatives with measurable outcomes.

And for investors, a NED isn’t just a ‘nice to have’—they’re often a prerequisite, offering assurance that funding will be well-managed and growth plans delivered.

As with all our services at EFM, our NED offering is designed for growing, ambitious businesses.

You get:

1. High-level input without the overhead of a permanent hire.
2. Tailored support based on your business lifecycle, sector, and goals.
3. Immediate impact from experts who understand your challenges and speak your language.

Our NEDs also carry the same legal responsibilities as Executive Directors—meaning they are fully accountable and committed to your business’s success.

Meet our experts whose insight and leadership has helped hundreds of businesses grow with confidence.

We believe in more than just box-ticking governance. EFM NEDs are trusted partners, strategic challengers, and steady hands at board level. They bring the objectivity and experience that helps unlock new opportunities—and the confidence to pursue them.

They’re not here to run your business. They’re here to help you run it better.
