Eastside People has a goal to join up our services, expand pockets of excellence, and create more synergies between our consultancy and recruitment arms. Our ambition is to be recognised much more visibly across the charity and social enterprise sector as the provider of choice.
We are therefore excited to announce that three new Non Executive Directors (NEDs) have joined our Board. Their extensive experience and knowledge will be key inputs to the evolution and development of the consultancy and recruitment services that we and our team of experienced professionals deliver to charities and social enterprises.
The role of NED involves providing an informed contribution to the company’s strategic direction based on an understanding of the wider environment. Our new NEDs are committed to our vision, values and aims and will be offering us support, challenging us and putting forward new perspectives.
Please join us in welcoming our NEDS:

John helped set up a charity many years ago and has been a trustee of several charities since. He has seen at first hand the value of helping charity leaders to make the most of their capacity, and to maintain focus on their impact.
He finds the idea that we can – and should – open up opportunities for people despite disadvantage is hugely motivational and that helping to facilitate that by supporting development and performance of charity leaders is a fulfilling and rewarding cause.
“As a non-executive director at Eastside People, I want to offer knowledge, experience, ideas, and networks in support of those non-profit organisations who value the help that Eastside People brings.”
