Are you someone who talks about getting into non-exec directorships and leveraging your years of hard work and industry track record to support the property industry?
If so, the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA) is looking for a suitably qualified and experienced Non-Executive Director (NED) to “contribute to its ambitious plans for the future”.
UKALA, which was incorporated in 1997 as a trade association for letting agents working with private landlords, says it needs someone to help steer the organisation so that it is “effective, robust and financially capable of supporting its members” after a period of growth.
UKALA’s current management team includes Chairman Tim Clark (pictured, left) who is also a Director at Town & Country letting agent in Southampton and CEO Richard Lambert (pictured below).
They say UKALA is seeking someone with commercial experience at director level with a knowledge of relevant company law and corporate governance, as well knowing all about current letting legislation and industry issues.
It could be that the winning candidate will be a media representative for UKALA too, as the winning candidate will need sound presentation skills and interview experience.
£3,000 a year
UKALA needs someone who can work 10-15 days a year for the organisation, for which they will be paid a fee of £3,000 per annum.
Other duties will include helping the Chairman set goals for UKALA, and to help monitor its performance, as well as attend board meetings at its HQ near Waterloo in London.
There will be other opportunities to earn income too, as UKALA may pay the new NED to lead special projects, at an agreed hourly rate.
In its most recent annual report for 2016, UKALA revealed that it had increased membership by 13% and boosted turnover from £250,318 in 2015 to £306,611. This is a turnaround from 2012, when UKALA’s operations were taken over by the National Landlords Association and the NLA relaunched in a bid to reverse a declining membership – which it is has very successfully done.
If you are interested becoming UKALA’s next NED, please email, requesting an information pack at hr@ukala.org.uk. The closing date for applications is 18th August 2017.
