The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. It creates friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries it works with – creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust. The British Council sought an Independent Commercial Committee Member to support the leadership of the British Council’s commercial activities.

Through Nurole they appointed Rajiv Garodia, SVP and Global Head at Real Time Payments and former International MD and CEO of in-house Fintech "Pay By Bank App" at Vocalink (a Mastercard Company) and Peter Phippen, Chairman at Bell Educational Services Ltd and Chairman at Texere Ltd.


Nurole turned out to be such a refreshing way to connect with NED roles and organisations seeking to recruit for them. The whole process is simple - starting with great opportunities, easy application, regular updates and quick turnarounds. A new disruptive force in NED searches - Highly recommended!

Through Nurole I was appointed Chair of Wildscreen and we have since used them again to hire our new Trustees. I think they’re one of the most impressive organisations in their field and my experience of them, both as a candidate and from the client side, has been wholly positive.
