Ned Capital Recruitment Ltd

NED Capital Recruitment Ltd is a specialist UK recruitment firm focused exclusively on board-level appointments, including non-executive directors, chairs, committee chairs, and trustees. They help organisations connect with experienced leaders across private companies, private equity-backed businesses, FCA-regulated firms, listed companies, and charities. The business operates from offices in London and the West Midlands and has been active since 2018.

The firm recruits against specific skills gaps rather than using a generic profile, and every search is retained and research-led. They map serving directors who are not on the market, test each candidate's independence and time commitment, and present a shortlist for comparison. Searches are run by a senior team under founder Adrian Lawrence FCA, who holds an ICAEW practising certificate.

Clients include private and family companies, private equity portfolios, FCA-regulated firms, listed and AIM companies, and charities or public bodies. The firm helps appoint independent directors for roles such as SMF9, SMF10, SMF11, and SMF14, with regulatory approval built into the timetable for regulated firms.

The firm offers retained search services for every seat around the table, plus board advisory services like independent board evaluations and board succession planning. They also provide specialist search for chairs, independent directors, and committee roles alongside their core non-executive director recruitment.

The business operates from two offices: 167–169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF, and Watling Court, Orbital Plaza, Cannock WS11 0EL. They cover the whole of the UK and can meet at either office, at a client's premises, or by video call.

The firm has been recruiting senior finance and board leaders since 2018, with founder Adrian Lawrence FCA bringing over 25 years of experience working alongside boards, investors, and business owners. He previously served as a listed-company Finance Director and holds a BSc from Queen Mary College, University of London.

The firm works with boards across the UK, including private and PE-backed companies, FCA-regulated firms, charities, and listed businesses. They assess candidates against the specific needs of the board it will join, ensuring independence and time commitment are tested from the first conversation.

The firm's approach is designed to avoid costly mistakes, as the wrong appointment can damage credibility with investors, lenders, and regulators. They map the market in confidence and check independence, time commitment, conflicts, and references before presenting a shortlist to the client.

The firm operates 24/7 and provides services for permanent, interim, and portfolio non-executive directors. They also offer board reviews and succession planning, including board evaluations and governance advice.

The firm's founder, Adrian Lawrence FCA, is a Fellow of the ICAEW and holds an ICAEW practising certificate. He advises chairs and boards on governance, board composition, committee structure, and FCA Senior Manager appointments.

The firm's sister practices include FD Capital, Exec Capital, Accountancy Capital, and SMF Capital, sharing a C-suite and board network across NED, FD, Exec, Accountancy, and SMF Capital. They have two offices in London and the West Midlands.

The firm's website states that they recruit independent non-executive directors, chairs, and committee chairs for FCA and PRA-regulated banks, insurers, asset managers, payment firms, and fintechs. They assess SMF suitability, independence, and prior regulated board experience before any candidate reaches the shortlist.
