Clare Chalmers Limited

Clare Chalmers Limited leverages the services of two board evaluation experts: Clare Chalmers and James Littlefair. Expert practitioners and thought leaders in assessing and improving board effectiveness, with a combined 20 years of board advisory experience and 150 evaluations conducted. We specialise in helping directors and senior executives improve individual and collective performance, leading to a more effective board. We have worked with many FTSE companies, financial services firms and membership organisations, and are equally at home with private companies. Clare Chalmers Ltd is consistently among a very small group of specialist firms who are trusted to work with a significant number of FTSE organisations each year. This breadth of experience sets us apart. We work closely with Board Chairs and Company Secretaries to provide a bespoke review. We are open-minded and pragmatic - we work with clients who take board enhancement seriously and are looking for independent, unbiased and objective advice. Our approach is bespoke and tailored to the client’s needs. We present our clients with a range of suggestions to help their board move forward, delivered in a constructive, thoughtful and collaborative manner. To ensure our suggestions are relevant and practical, we are sensitive to the context in which the Board operates – the industry, management structure, regulation and local practices. Our reviews focus on not only the practical arrangements of the board, but also on how well-placed the board is to add value to the business. We give particular focus to the Board’s decision-making process, as well as how far it factors in stakeholders. We are informed by the expectations of the UK Corporate Governance Code (2018), The Wates Corporate Governance Principles (2018) and other supplementary reports published by the Financial Reporting Council. We pride ourselves on our independence and objectivity - our review and analysis are completely impartial.
