About the job
Helping Made in Britain reach even higher in 2023.
Made in Britain, the official collective mark for British manufacturers, is seeking a non-executive director to expand upon our current board team as we prepare to grow membership far beyond the current c. 1,900 British manufacturers. As a non-profit organisation, adhering to a code of conduct and strict eligibility criteria, our board of directors is made up of current active members of Made in Britain, all with broad experience in successful stewardship of a manufacturing enterprise, and contributing to the board with senior leadership skills as well as specific strategic and governance capabilities.
Having recently affirmed a strategic roadmap for growth and visibility of the official collective mark, we would be particularly interested to hear from members with proven expertise in any or all of the following pillar workstreams.
- HR and contracting
- Legal and compliance
- Risk management
- Brand and collective mark
- Engagement and PR
The executive team works collaboratively with board sponsors on each workstream and strategic pillar, providing guidance and assurance for our chief executive, operations officer and the specialist agency teams.
Our non-executive directors are registered at Companies House and non-remunerated. The current tenure under Made in Britain Articles of Association are terms of up to three (3) years. The successful candidate should be able to contribute with up to eight (8) hours of participation per calendar month - additionally, there are five (5) board meetings per year.
Candidates should be familiar with our Articles of Association, specifically our objects, our terms and the Made in Britain code of conduct which is compulsory. Our board would expect all non-executives to contribute specific skills, knowledge or experience to help the board reach sound decisions. This may involve scrutinising board and other papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, and providing advice and guidance on new initiatives and other issues related to growing Made in Britain impacts, visibility and value proposition.
To apply, in the first instance, we ask that you write in confidence to Made in Britain chairman, Chris Harrop OBE: chairman@madeinbritain.org with cc. to our chief executive, John Pearce: john@madeinbritain.org.
We will be receiving registrations of interest up to Friday, 29 July.
