"We chose BP&E Global for our Board Evaluation. The Report was delivered on time and most definitely of high quality and accuracy. There was little by way of dispute with the findings. Overall, whilst Board Effectiveness Reviews can be regarded as a pretty generic process this was not the case for us. Why? the team took time to understand our business model, our culture and our history." INED Small Overseas Bank read more

We work extensively with the Boards of Foreign Banks in London offering independent assistance to Boards helping them to understand the (ever changing) regulatory framework in the UK and how to improve their effectiveness.

In our experience there are particular challenges for Boards in this sector:

• Understanding how UK regulation affects them and what regulators are looking for when they ask questions
• Managing the tensions between a parent company and the regulatory demands for independent local Boards
• Balancing the need to adopt group wide standards with local demands

BP&E Global provide a dedicated service for Boards offering evaluation, executive coaching, and regulatory insights. 

We address both the policy and people aspects of Board performance through a combination of:

• Commercial understanding of the sector
• Knowledge of regulatory and legal requirements and the latest thinking on governance issues
• Development and coaching expertise to fully analyse the issues and address them
• Independent support for Directors through the S166 process

Always up-to-date with regulatory and governance developments we speak regularly at conferences on board performance matters and write articles for publication by specialist magazines and websites such as Governance and Compliance, ICSA, Complinet, and Thomson Reuters. 

Our CEO, Judy has worked at Board and Senior Management level in Regulation and with  with a wide range of organisations in the financial services industry, frequently including those from a variety of overseas ownership, locations and cultures. Her speciality is Board evaluations. 

The BP&E Global Team bring together a unique mix of recent regulatory and compliance insight combined with experience of working with over 1000 Board members and their Boards to develop their approach to governance and oversight.
