Regions

The IoD is made up of 34,000 entrepreneurs, CEOs, directors and decision makers from every sector and from every region in the UK. In order to support our members, we created local communities – our regions and branches. Each community is headed up by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team who not only support you and make sure your voice is heard but who also arrange events that are informative and inspiring and a great place to meet other business leaders in your area.
