Director Magazine Spring 2026  View our spring issue in full

Is business a force for good? Our expert writers show why it can and should be, as the third edition of the relaunched Director magazine hits shelves and desktops.

The magazine features IoD chair John Browett on why most companies are angels, not demons. And marketing legend Rory Sutherland shows how technological advance is making smarter, better working possible – if not yet a reality. Branding expert Morag Cuddeford-Jones shows why leaders must be pitch perfect. Hi-fi entrepreneur Julian Richer shows why responsibility in business makes commercial sense. And Baroness Evans extols the curing power of curiosity.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times’ Stefan Stern welcomes bots to boardrooms. BBC writer MaryLou Costa laments the dilapidating effects of endless transformations. And we meet Richard Tice, the brains behind Reform’s rise, and ask, what would he do for business?

Elsewhere in the magazine, business journalist Matt Packer goes to the pictures. How well does the silver screen represent matters of commerce? Cinephile Packer argues it’s better than you might expect. Meanwhile, we send business author Sally Percy on a special mission: how do former military personnel fare as managers on Civvy Street? This Spring, you can meet our hot shots from the armed forces.
