We are delighted to welcome Patrick Dunne to our Directors’ Circle in-person spring networking evening.

Patrick is a well established thought-leader in the board space. At this session, he will share his latest reflections on governance, organisational culture and driving long-term value-creation as a NED. 

This interactive event will also see ample opportunity for discussion with our audience of experienced non-executive directors, sharing thoughts and dilemmas around on broad governance topics and the practical challenges faced by today’s boards. 

Kindly hosted by Peel Hunt, this session will also include substantial networking time to connect with other board members in our Directors’ Circle over drinks and nibbles in a warm, supportive atmosphere.
