"Above all, in the competitive financial and business environments in which UK businesses operate, the need for the professionalisation of directors is paramount; individuals who are responsible stewards of their organisations, who have the courage and foresight to challenge their board peers and to act in the best interests of their organisations and demonstrate leadership are urgently needed. UK businesses need directors with the learning, experience and diligence, which in turn will give confidence to the public and drive up ever higher standards of capability. I support the Chartered Director qualification because it has enabled individuals to develop these personal qualities through a rigorous qualification process and has inspired a new generation of directors in championing the high standards that are so needed within their profession."
Alderman David Wootton, The Rt Hon Lord Mayor of London (2012)
