About Us
We enhance the skills already available in your organisation to broaden discussions, focus on deliverables and ensure that your company has the best foundation in place to create success. We are a results focused, professional services business that has respect and integrity at the centre of everything we do. Backed by knowledge, training and expertise, we work with clients and their advisers to deliver solutions for business success.
Our Company
Independent Directors & Trustees Limited (IDT) is a team of individuals with experience of acting at a senior level across organisations, including as independent directors and trustees.
We work with companies and their advisers at leadership, executive and board level on tailored solutions to ensure an organisation has an effective governance framework to support its goals, initiatives and drive for success.
Increasingly, governance standards in the UK are being applied to all organisations, no matter what their size or shareholder structure. Such requirements cover all aspects of a business, including director duties, organisational structure, culture, statutory reporting and stakeholder responsibilities.
Our services support businesses in fulfilling these requirements within their business model, as well as working on fresh ways to improve their business plans and strategic thinking. By combining our clients' sector expertise with our strategic implementation and governance experience, we collaborate to build an organisational structure that benefits the business and all its stakeholders, including its leadership team and employees.
How We Work
Our services are delivered by professionals accustomed to acting at board level and open to sharing their experience both formally and informally as directors and trustees.
Your contract is with IDT, through which you appoint a named director or trustee, or engage with us to provide associated services, such as our governance workshops. Under the same contract you can draw on the expertise and knowledge of the full team, appointing individuals to additional roles or projects as and when you have a further requirement.
Equally, our team members benefit from the shared experience of their colleagues, as well as the administrative support and legal framework provided by IDT.
Why Choose Us
We are a professional service firm, not a recruitment firm. You contract with us to provide services that are tailored to your needs so they will evolve to meet your changing requirements.
Our close collaboration with our clients ensures we fully benefit from each other's knowledge and expertise to achieve the best results. It's the underlying ethos of our business and services.
In support of our service provision, we have also created a suite of practical tools, tips, documents and materials to support our clients in their leadership and governance roles. These are freely available to our clients as and when they meet their needs, and have been developed through our interactions with clients and our wider experience. It is also this suite of materials that forms the basis of our governance workshops.
