We were immensely proud to support B Lab UK with their recent trustee recruitment and delighted to see the appointment of three outstanding candidates to their board.

In recruiting new trustees B Lab UK were keen to include the perspectives of people who could help them reach further, faster, and represent voices currently missing from the B Corp community. Their board recruitment had to reflect not just the skills and experience required, but also the need to work with a wide range of stakeholders across the UK.

Congratulations to Nicola Clark OBE, George King IV and Thom Kenrick.

Nicola Clark OBE, CEO of UMi, a Durham-based B Corp with a footprint across England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. UMi has strong experience with SMEs and is fully employee owned.
