GRG Executive Search

Our most sincere thanks to everyone who attended the GRG Executive Search Women In Leadership event last night, along with all our incredible panellists. #GRGExecWIL

“As a NED, I always want to set time aside with each of the exec team to understand how the business is run.” - Sheryl Miller #GRGExecWIL

“In your first NED role, sit back and learn in your first few meetings, and work out the dynamics of the boardroom.” - Helen Miles #GRGExecWIL

“As a NED, you need to leave your own agenda behind, because it’s all about the agenda of the organisation.” - Elizabeth Froude #GRGExecWIL

“One of the things I love about being a NED is dealing with somebody else’s problems, and leaving mine behind. It refreshes your thought process” - Helen Miles, NED for Breedon Group Plc. #GRGExecWIL

"You need to focus on what you bring in, your USP.  No one is going to tick all the boxes" - Paula Smith, NED for Platform Housing Group #GRGExecWIL

“Apart from one, all our NEDs had no previous experience. Don’t believe that’s a barrier for getting onto boards.” - Elizabeth Froude

“Within my industry, diversity is in our DNA. We now have a 50% gender split on our board.” - Elizabeth Froude, Chief Executive of Platform Housing Group and NED for Settle Group. #GRGExecWIL

"Enthusiasm, someone who would do a little homework, do a self audit, have self awareness, get people behind you to help you gain the skills" - Anita Bhalla #GRGExecWIL

“I’ve learnt so much in my NED roles that I would bring back to the BBC. You can’t get that kind of experience anywhere else” - Anita Bhalla OBE, Chair of @BMusic_Ltd

“51% of NEDs are now women, but what we’re lacking is intersectionality. People of colour, people from diverse backgrounds and from different gender identities” - Sheryl Miller #GRGExecWIL

We’re kicking off the evening with our first topic, preparing to undertake a NED role. Our panellists, Elizabeth Froude, Helen Miles, Anita Bhalla OBE and Paula Smith will be led in discussion by compere and NED for @GleesonRecruit Sheryl Miller.

Tonight, we’re delighted to be hosting our GRG Executive Search Annual Executive Women In Leadership Event here at Gleeson HQ. We'll be live-tweeting throughout the evening, so stay tuned! #NEDs #NonExecutiveDirectors #Leadership #GRGExecWIL
