Overview

NED Capital is a specialist UK recruitment agency focused on appointing Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), Board Chairs, and fractional C-Suite executives. Founded in June 2025 by FD Capital, it was created to address the growing demand for board-level expertise across sectors ranging from healthcare and technology to financial services, real estate, and the public sector. The firm’s services extend beyond traditional recruitment, with an emphasis on strategic alignment, cultural fit, and governance expertise. In addition to placing NEDs and Chairs, NED Capital sources fractional leaders such as part-time CEOs and CFOs, offering organizations flexible access to senior leadership without the cost of full-time appointments. A key milestone came in August 2025 with the launch of its redesigned website. The site features streamlined navigation, a dedicated NED Jobs Board, and a candidate registration portal, alongside a growing library of insights on board governance, ESG strategies, and leadership trends. NED Capital works with a wide variety of organizations, including FTSE-listed firms, private equity-backed businesses, housing associations, and non-profit boards. Its discreet, consultative approach differentiates it from traditional search firms, providing access to off-market talent—former CEOs, founders, and senior executives ready to bring independent perspective and strategic value to boards. Positioned as a modern, niche recruitment boutique, NED Capital aims to elevate board effectiveness and help organizations meet complex challenges in governance, risk, and growth. Its expansion signals a strong commitment to reshaping non-executive recruitment across the UK.
