Big Issue Invest
Retail and Institutional Fund Role
Big Issue Invest is the social investment arm of The Big Issue and currently manages or advises on over £170m of social funds. From its innovative lending programmes and regulated investment funds it has invested in more than 300 social enterprises, charities and businesses across the UK.
Big Issue Invest needed a leader to work with the Chair to take on and help grow its specialised retail fund division.
Within one week, the Nurole platform identified Paul Hanratty, former Group Operating Officer and plc Executive Director of Old Mutual plc.
The appointment process provided by Nurole for Big Issue Invest was great and we had a really impressive group of people to choose from coming through their tech platform. It’s all about the people of course but we are extremely appreciative of Nurole just charging a nominal fee and waiving any success fees for charities and non-profits.

Chair, The Big Issue Group
Client
I have been looking for a hands-on volunteer role helping people – and been struggling to find something I could do without having to take on a governance role. I was delighted to find an opportunity on Nurole with Big Issue Invest, that plays to my actual knowledge base and gets me volunteering without having to step too far outside my comfort zone.
