About NED Fees
Joseph Ellul (5 Dolce Vita Corte, Triq San Mikiel, San Gwann, SGN 2303, Malta). We run this site and pass each enquiry through Execplaced to up to three non-executive directors.
Why this site exists
We read 243 UK board seat adverts and 27 NED network and search-firm pages on 2026-11-09. The adverts are where a board seat's fee is actually written down. So the only way to see the spread is to read all of them and show the working: every row named and dated.
Who it is for
A company or founder about to appoint a non-executive director or chair, and a director pricing a NED network. Both would rather see the published figures than a range somebody made up.
What is on this site
One question, "ned fees", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- What advertised UK board seats pay, advert by advert: 179 UK board seat adverts that state a fee: public body chairs and members, NHS non-executives, read 2026-11-09.
- NED network membership: every published price: What the UK NED networks charge a director to join, from each network's own page: 5 networks, read 2026-11-09.
- Who publishes a price, and who makes you ask: 5 of 27 NED network and search pages read print a figure. These are the ones that do not.
What it does not do
- No ranking, no best-of list and no scores: the table is sorted by the figure, not by us.
- No paid placement, no affiliate links and no sponsored rows.
- No invented figure: a provider that publishes nothing is listed as publishing nothing.

NED Fees is a free introduction service operated by Joseph Ellul (5 Dolce Vita Corte, Triq San Mikiel, San Gwann, SGN 2303, Malta). Your details go to up to three non-executive directors chosen by Execplaced, who contact you directly; we may receive a fee from them, and you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We do not sit on boards ourselves. It carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no network or firm in the table has paid to be there or can pay to be removed. Every figure is read from the named network's own public page on the date shown and is what that network advertises, not a fee for your board. Prices move; check the source before you rely on a row.
