NED & Chair Service
As part of our commitment to supporting the industries we serve, we offer free access to our NED database for early-stage companies. For more established organizations, we charge a modest, fixed fee to help cover the running costs of this service—significantly lower than the fees typically charged by most recruiters for similar offerings.

Testimonials
"Our Start-up used the free Chair/NED search service at george james ltd. They were fantastic and supported not only with crafting the role specification and sending the advert out to their network but also gave advice on handling applicants and their opinions of the applicants we received. We ended up with a great selection of high-quality candidates that made our decision hard! We now have a Chair and a NED from the process and are very grateful to all at george james who supported us in our early stage. I would definitely recommend george james for entrepreneurs/start-ups and will work with them as a recruiter going forward."
“David Southern and the wider George James Ltd team helped us fill two key growth vacancies in our Data team. Working to a challenging brief we were presented with a good spread of pre-qualified candidates each with a comprehensive candidate summary. Having a broad spread of candidates presented to us helped us identify the skills and experience we were looking for and supported an efficient interview and offer process. I would recommend George James Ltd and their proactive approach in supporting us across the science and technology sector.”
"Getting your first NED position is often the hardest step when building a NED portfolio or just gaining experience for the future. The free george james NED/Chair service introduced me to my first NED role. For anyone interested in starting their NED experience, experienced NED/Chairs looking for other opportunities I would highly recommend this service and george james"
