MM&K publishes the 2025-2026 edition of Life in the Boardroom

We are delighted to announce that MM&K has published the 2025-2026 Life in the Boardroom Report presenting the findings from our 2025 survey of board Chairs and Non-executive Directors (NEDs).

The Report provides in-depth insights into directors’ fees and time commitments, as well as their views on a range of topical board issues. Drawing exclusively on responses provided directly from individual Chairs and NEDs across a wide range of industry sectors and company types, the report offers a uniquely accurate picture of board practices, priorities, and remuneration.

The report contains directors’ views on:

• What they think about the way their boards function.
• What they think about the way their boards cope with the key issues facing boards today, including ESG and AI.
• The matters which are of most concern to them.

Who would benefit from the report?

• Current NEDs.
• Those aspiring to become NEDs.
• Boards and their HR departments seeking to recruit NEDs.
• Those advising companies on the recruitment and remuneration of NEDs and corporate governance.
• Organisations established to support businesses and their directors.

You can download a free report preview and find out more here.
