Institute Of Directors Cambridgeshire Branch

The IoD was established in 1903 and granted a Royal Charter in 1906.

As a worldwide association of members, the Institute of Directors (IoD) provides a professional network that reaches into every corner of the business community. Our membership spans the whole spectrum of international business leadership, from the largest public companies to the smallest private firms.
Membership of the IoD is individual - each member joins the IoD in his or her capacity as a director. Members receive a variety of benefits including information, advice, training, conferences and publications to help them maximise their potential. They also have an influential organisation on their side - representing their concerns to government - and at their side - providing professional business support, wherever it is needed.
The IoD is your representative in business. Here are the key points that make up our philosophy:

Helping you develop your ideas in a manageable way
As a director, you're likely to be entrepreneurial, but your good ideas need to sit within a framework of plans and controls as well as market knowledge.

Representing your point of view
As an independent association of individual company directors, our objective is to make sure your views are taken into account when the government is reviewing policy; legislating or simply seeking views of the wider business community.

Promoting professionalism in the boardroom
Directors realise that high standards of excellence and professionalism in the boardroom are essential for business success. The IoD has been supporting directors in their professional development for many years.

The IoD is a non party-political business organisation founded by Royal Charter in 1903, currently with around 55,000 members.

The IoD has always championed the entrepreneur and seeks to provide an environment conducive to business success. For any company to prosper, directors will be continually engaged in making decisions involving innovation, risk and investment. Entrepreneurial activity needs to take place within a solid, strategic framework.

Informed decisions depend upon knowledge and experience. The IoD has always been dedicated to providing directors with the information and advice they require to help their business succeed.

Over the last 5 years, membership has grown by over 11,000 members and includes directors from many sectors of the economy - from media to manufacturing, e-business to public sector. Members include CEOs of large corporations as well as entrepreneurial directors of start-up companies. They are represented in 92% of FTSE 100 companies, whilst 70% of our members are directors of small and mid-sized enterprises
