Company Description
Boardroom Advisors provides real-world board-level support to scale-ups and SMEs through part-time CEOs, Managing Directors, Non-Executive Directors, Chairs, and paid mentors. The firm offers flexible advisory services from as little as one day per quarter, with no recruitment fees, no long-term commitments, and the ability to adjust or change advisors as business needs evolve. Clients gain access to highly experienced UK-based professionals who act as part of the team, delivering consulting, direction, and strategy at a fraction of the cost of full-time executives. Founded by serial entrepreneur John G. Courtney, who has built and advised multiple successful businesses over more than 40 years, Boardroom Advisors is focused on practical, proven guidance rather than theory.
Role Description
This is a part-time Regional Director role with a strong business development focus, offered on a contract basis. The position is hybrid, based in the Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom, with a mix of on-site client engagement and some work-from-home flexibility. Please do not apply if you are not based within 25 miles of Bristol or the North of England
