Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University is delighted to partner with the newly formed Experience Bank, a not-for-profit initiative set up to support business growth within the region.

Set up by Peter Neal, UNW LLP, and Neil Warwick, Square One Law, The Experience Bank will help facilitate introductions between business owners and entrepreneurs looking to attract and work with an experienced NED. This new initiative is also supported by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership together with Newcastle Business School who will be providing the use of its facilities for meetings and events. Partnerships are also being established with other organisations across the region.

The Experience Bank will build and manage a high quality, network of experienced and appropriately motivated business leaders who are interested in supporting aspirational enterprises across the region in a Non-Executive capacity. It also plans to nurture the next generation of aspiring Non-Executive Directors and aims to raise the visibility of business talent in the North East.
