About Mike

I am an experienced Chairman, Trustee and Non-Executive Director who works with Boards and senior management teams providing governance, risk and compliance guidance and support. I have worked with businesses primarily in the financial services and charitable sectors but the reviews are relevant for all businesses.

I am currently a non-executive director of a housing association, trustee of a pension scheme and governor of a secondary academy. I have previously been Chairman of a pension scheme and a non-executive director and Chairman of a building society.

Board effectiveness reviews are designed to improve the effectiveness of Board and Senior Management Teams and a company's governance arrangements. Each review is tailor-made to the business requirements. I will assess how the strategic goals are aligned with the business culture. I will provide the business with recommendations to remedy any gaps in the organisational structure, board composition, director skills, leadership and resources.

Strategic reviews can be carried out to assess the sustainability and resilience of the business approach and enhancing its business continuity and contingency planning.

I also provide training to directors and trustees on their roles and responsibilities either as a group or on a one to one basis. Optionally, using Prevue profiling, I can provide an assessment of the dynamics of the team, identify areas of potential conflicts, and bring personality insights to each member so they know how they work best with each other.

I provide guidance and support on your enterprise risk management framework, offering advice on implementation, policy, appetite statements, risk registers, mitigation and monitoring.
