Upcoming Event​

 

Wednesday 1 October 2025 at Eversheds, 1 Wood Street, London EC2V 7WS

 

A Morning from Hell​

 

This event is an immersive, high-stakes crisis simulation designed specifically for Non-Executive Directors. This interactive session places participants at the heart of a fast-moving, multifaceted governance crisis involving senior executive misconduct, reputational risk, and brand integrity.​

 

As guardians of governance and reputation, NEDs play a critical role in navigating such scenarios. This session offers a rare opportunity to rehearse and reflect on your responsibilities under pressure — when time is short, facts are unclear, and public trust is on the line.​

 

This session will be led and faciliated by Gregory Brandman, Partner, Eversheds Sutherland, and Charles Mayo, General Counsel, Secure Trust Bank, Chair of the Next Generation NED Network.
