Find the boards about to recruit, and the people with the record to join them.

Search firms, in-house talent teams and anyone placing trustees, non-executive directors and chairs.

I spend days piecing together board histories from Companies House and charity websites. I want to know which boards will need someone soon, and who has actually done the job before.

Where this leads

Why you can rely on it

Sources, matching and privacy

Official sources

Board and officer records from the Charity Commission, OSCR, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, Companies House and the Department for Education, with other public registers named on each record. Every fact shows its register and date.

How we handle data

Careful matching

Records are joined into one person only where our identity-matching rules support it. Confirmed relationships are supported by the approved evidence and rules. Likely relationships are shown with the label “Likely the same person”. Connections are calculated here and labelled as calculated.

Methodology

Private by default

Nobody is told you looked them up. Viewing, searching and saving are private. Near Me lists organisations only, never where people live, and nothing a person types becomes an official fact.
