A strong foundation for growth is firmly in place
Our Annual Report and Accounts 2021 reflects on a year of moving forward
We are now seeing the results of the hard work we have done over the last two years to transform the IoD, with a strong foundation for growth firmly in place. Though many challenges remain, we can afford to be much more positive about the outlook.
The pandemic has transformed how businesses and organisations work and underlined the crucial role we continue to play in supporting members to develop their leadership skills and ensuring government support for them as the economy recovered.
