Non-Executive Director and MBI Resource

First Flight (Placements) Ltd is a specialist Non-Executive Director and Management Buy-In (MBI) resource.

We have three products or services:

• Providing Non-Executive Directors
• Providing Non-Executive Directors who invest and become shareholders
• Management Buy-Ins (MBIs)/Company acquisitions – where owners wish to retire and we put together an MBI or BIMBO team (incl Non Execs) to acquire the company

Government-led reviews in the last 3-4 years were the pre-cursor of the Combined Code on Corporate Governance, which has as one of its main stipulations the recruitment of at least two Non-Executive Directors for every board. The mid size sector is estimated to comprise 4,300 private companies, of which less than 20% have to date recruited NEDs. For businesses with between 200 & 400 employees the proportion rises to 50%.

First Flight Survey of Non-Executive Directors in unquoted companies

There is very little good quality in depth research on Non-Executive Directors in unquoted companies. First Flight asked MM & K, a top London form of Consultants, to carry out this comprehensive research which is now available to all our registrants.

The 20 page Survey is different from other surveys in that:

• it covers the views of directors of nearly 500 companies which include many AIM and PLUS companies, so is soundly based – i.e. it is “authoritative”;
• the data is collected from the directors themselves; it is their views;
• it is unique and contains a great deal of fascinating information never before researched;
• it covers unquoted companies of which over half have less than £10 million turnover.
