Disqualification, destitution or delight

Following the success of last year's talk 'Company director - more than a title', focus turns to risks and rewards of being a director.

Many people are appointed directors without an understanding of the risks associated with such an appointment. The questions discussed in this seminar will be:

• What if I breach my duties?
• What if the company gets in a mess?
• What is meant by disqualification?
• What can I be paid?
• Is there insurance I can take?
• What does success look like?

With the right awareness and preparation, being a director does not need to be scary and the rewards of steering a company towards success can be amazing.

This seminar is open to all. Whether aspiring, newly appointed or existing directors wishing to refresh your knowledge.

Great develop opportunity with certificates of attendance available on request.

Refreshments will be available on arrival.

Please note the presentation will start at 13:00 prompt.

There will be an opportunity for Q&A following the presentation.
