TheInstitute of Directors (IoD) is seeking a new chair to become its voice of business for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Natalie Sykes, IoD Head of English branches, said:

“The successful candidate will be an important figurehead for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire businesses at this very challenging time.

“They will be a dynamic and forward-thinking leader, inspiring our members to rebuild and recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
