  1. David Armstrong –

    useful and also covered mentoring

  2. Stuart Shingles –

    An informative introduction to the role of non-executive finance director. The course, inter alia, highlites the fact that the Companies Act does not distinguish between exec and non-exec directors so that both can be held liable for breaches such as wrongful trading.
