The Merchants Trust PLC
Non-Executive Director
The Merchants Trust PLC, a FTSE 250 investment trust, needed an Audit Chair and new non-executive directors who could enhance the board’s cognitive diversity. They wanted candidates who had been CFO’s in large and mid caps for the audit chair role and candidates with FTSE board experience who had held CEO or CFO roles for the NED roles.
In eleven days, Nurole identified Timon Drakesmith (CFO of FTSE 100 Hammerson PLC) as Audit Chair and in four weeks Nurole surfaced Mary Ann Sieghart (former Editor of the Times) and Sybella Stanley (Director of Corporate Finance at Reed Elsevier Group PLC) as Non-Executive Directors.
Surely it's better to advertise it to see who might be interested? There may be all sorts of people you wouldn't have thought of approaching who turn out to be interested and that's a very good way of improving the diversity of your board as well.
