The UK's largest membership organisation for business leaders, providing informative events, professional development courses for self-improvement, networking and expert advice.

Who We Are:

The Institute of Directors (IoD) was founded in 1903 and within three years we were awarded a Royal Charter to support, represent and set standards for business leaders nationwide.

You will find us in the heart of all major cities and we continue to represent your point of view as a business leader both locally and nationally.

With around 20,000 members in the United Kingdom, we aim to ensure our members’ views are taken into account when the government is reviewing policy, legislation or seeking the opinions of the wider business community.

We believe that helping directors to improve, encouraging great governance, while fostering an entrepreneurial climate, helps generate prosperity in all its forms, making the world a better place.

What We Can Offer You:

We are the only institute in the world to offer internationally recognised qualifications designed by directors for directors specific to the core competencies required of directors and senior leaders.

Our membership will equip you with a range of resources - including access to business information, training, professional expertise, networking opportunities and flexible working spaces - all of which are designed to help you strengthen and build on your own success.

Our renowned Chartered Director qualification and training portfolio will provide you with the platform to hone your skillset and reach your full potential as a business leader.
