This session will bring together aspiring, new and experienced NEDs for a practical discussion on what it really takes to be an effective NED in a family‑owned business.

Hosted by KPMG at their Glasgow office, this interactive breakfast session will take the form of a panel / fireside chat, chaired by Jamie Livingston, and will share real‑world perspectives from the boardroom. We are excited to have an expert panel from the family business world: Clyde Marwick, Mark McDavid and Michael Donaldson.
