NEDs in the bed?
Article Abstract:
Not much is known about the role of non-executive directors (NEDs), although their profile has been raised by the corporate governance debate initiated by the Cadbury Committee. Most growing businesses get to the point where it needs to move away from the personal style of the founder, and a good NED will add corporate governance discipline. NEDs can input skills that other directors may not have, but many smaller firms remain sceptical about appointing an NED.
