We use our extensive contacts across North East industry to recruit potential non-execs who are actively looking for the right opportunity to get on board with a business and help it move forward. We don’t publish the list of non-executives we have signed up, but when a business is ready to add to their team, our promise is to find the most suitable person for the job from the wealth of contacts we have.

A Virtuous Circle

The Experience Bank Group creates a funding stream for our social enterprise, The Experience Bank™, from revenue generated by our commercial consultancy services invested in by more established organisations (those that can afford it) to help early stage businesses and small charities (those that can’t afford it).

The Experience Bank™ gives a percentage of its revenue to its social enterprise so that it may support even more founding entrepreneurs to build successful and sustainable organisations.

All of this is done in an efficient, timely, gentle and encouraging manner. His focus is entirely on the interest of his clients and for this reason I have no hesitation in adding my personal endorsement and recommendation.
