The board was stable, familiar, and stuck.
It was made up of long-serving advisers and family connections. Loyalty was strong, but challenge was limited. The business had lost momentum, and no one could quite say why.
The Chair, a respected family member, saw the issue but wasn’t sure how to act without damaging long-standing relationships.
TWYD supported a quiet but constructive reset.
We conducted a board effectiveness review, listened to each director, and mapped out what the board actually needed: deeper expertise, independent challenge, and clearer oversight.
We worked with the Chair to introduce term limits, restructure committees, and bring in two new NEDs with defined roles.
The board became more focused and much more useful.
“This was done with care and professionalism. TWYD helped us make changes without creating conflict.”
