Being a Director of a company is a position that many career hungry and aspirational individuals have in their sights. For some, it’s the money, for others, the status and for others still, it’s the desire to create a business from nothing. One thing is for sure, a company directorship is typically a title to be proud of.
But how many of these people need help to fully understand the role and, indeed, the responsibilities that come with this position? And what support is available to them?
Who’s Who Publications Chairman, Jeremy Hall says “It’s clear that many new business men and women embark on their career as a company director with little or no background or experience, and, in the past, there has not been too much available in the form of training DVDs on which they can call. This is why we have spent time and money researching and producing a DVD “The Role & Responsibilities of the Company Director” which aims to answer the questions and outline the role so as to point these business owners in the right direction. This is even more important now that the final stage of the Companies Act 2006 is being implemented, and our DVD is available in good time for the effective date of the 1st October this year.”
The DVD is presented by Roger Mason, a respected author on the subject and an experienced accountant, chartered secretary and Company Director. Using the board of a fictional software company, Roger talks us through the facts and shows us how they translate into practical business reality. We have the chance to observe as the directors attend board meetings and deal with real life business scenarios. Featured sections include Appointment & Termination of Appointment, How to run successful Board Meetings, The General Duties of the Company Director and What to do if the Company has Financial Difficulties.
The Who’s Who range of business support services is being developed to assist with business owners own, or their team’s personal development.
Who’s Who plans to introduce a full range of training, educational and business support DVDs on their website www.whoswho.co.uk, to cover other areas of Company law, Health & Safety and training in various business areas such as sales & marketing, credit control & debt collection.
