IoD South
Creating connections across the South of England and beyond
IoD South stretches from Banbury in the north to Dover in the east, with seven branches representing a huge diversity of businesses and sectors. Our region is one of high output and remarkable achievement, and our branches provide opportunities for inspiration, discussion and development of ideas and interests.

IoD South runs a programme of strategic events and seminars to help our members develop their careers as directors and to prepare their organisations for whatever the future holds.
Special Interest Groups
IoD special interest group (SIG) for Africa, chaired by Joel Popoola, has been created to stimulate business opportunities, increase networking and grow awareness of British businesses in Africa – and African businesses in Britain.
