Virtualnonexecs Avis 96

I was one on the earliest members on this platform and now wouldn't be without it. Why?;-
1. I have invested the time and effort to get to know the top quality members who have the real experience of growing, exiting and advising businesses on growth and success across many sectors, nationally and globally. No conversation is wasted.
2. My introductions have been exceptional and I have access to a truly supportive network who understand that we all need a sounding board and direct leads to decision makers and importantly, they operate from a genuine desire to support one another. Many expect nothing in return and have a true desire to help, especially those that help themselves.
3. A valuable tool as a recruiter, whose business relies on the quality of my network. I have no need to pay expensive job boards to find a solution for my client. I simply ask the question "Can anybody please help me with..." It is fair to say that it has accelerated by network and cut out long winded searches and circuitous routes.
4. I too have been able to direct members to useful opportunities when I think there is a genuine value. Mutual back scratching.
5. I am able to monitor which members are ripe for Non Executive Director positions which I may advise my client to explore as a solution to their gaps in recruitment. I can also find C suiters very swiftly.
6. Access to funding for my clients is something always uppermost on my mind and this would be my go to platform for any client seeking any advice for growth in this respect or indeed anyone looking for investment opportunities.
7. I frequently get approached for NED positions myself once the members have seen how active I am in the network and the effort I have made to demonstrate that it is not all about me and what I can take. An established rule of business that works.
8. A plug in to a business tool that reaps more rewards than any business training and advertising that has historically costs me thousands. I reap what I sow. You either get it or you don't. I mix with those who get it.

Many thanks to the VNXD team that have supported me from the beginning. This is not a job board. It is a full support business tool.

My agency Tribes are sponsors of VNX and have found the platform fantastic for promoting our agency services.

We also recommended VNX to one of our clients that was looking for a finance director on a part time basis, they found the perfect person. Best part for our client is the service was free and they'd been quoted thousands by recruiters to help the hunt for their part time finance director.

I have benefitted from VNED in several ways. As a business owner and director I've had great conversations and recruited NED's and board advisors for free through the platform.
As a NED I have had many companies reach out which has led to paid work as a consultant, NED and advisor. The networking and community is strong.
There are a lot of people on the platform, it's all there for you if you put the time in, just like anything else in life!
Would certainly recommend.

I found the network fantastic for me. Within just a few weeks, I had made multiple connections with the right people to help me progress forwards and I found so many more opportunities too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to expand their network of professional contacts especially if you're involved with private equity!

Recruited a non-exec and saved the £25k I was being quoted by various recruiters. I cannot sing your praises highly enough.

Really happy with the service I have received from Steve Benson, I have met some great connections on the platform and am working with them to explore other opportunities. It’s a worthwhile investment.

Does what it says on the tin! At last - an authentic peer to peer platform for business people and entrepreneurs to network and connect.

Ive used the platform for little over 2 months and the value gained within the first 30 minutes more than paid for the membership fee. I had an issue with my Amazon seller account and desperately needed an intro to someone who actually works at amazon as was going round in circles with their customer support. As mentioned above within 30 mins of me joining and posting on the network I had multiple messages from members sending me contact details of a contact they knew at amazon. This platform opens doors to people you’d never usually be able to contact. Theres a real community feel here and everyone on the platform seems keen to help you however they can! Would certainly, and already have recommended to many business owners

Having been a fairly early adopter of VNXD, as a member since late 2019, I can honestly say that I’ve had nothing but an exemplary experience thus far!

Whether it’s connections I made through the various lockdowns; the Virtual Speed Networking; Inner Circle; the Face to Face events or just engaging on a 121 basis with countless dozens of fellow members and the whole VNXD management team, I genuinely haven’t found fault with anything!

For me, as with joining any forum, to reap the rewards, one has to commit to invest both the time and effort, as well as the all-too-reasonable membership fees to get the most out of VNXD. Personally I strongly believe in the concept of paying it forward or “giving to receive” and the number of times I’ve been able to help others with connections and opportunities are innumerable - and THAT’s how I’ve ended up deriving the many benefits I’ve gained including securing my first 3 NED roles this year.

Quite seriously, with the exception of my 38 year career experience to date, joining VNXD has probably been the next best investment I could ever have made in my future NonExec career.

I’d recommend it to any professional who’s willing to take the same time and effort to make things happen. #ForzaVNXD

Great experience so far with these guys. I was new to the NED space before I found Virtual Non Execs but they’ve helped me source a number of opportunities.

I had a major dispute with VNXD which resulted in a one star review. IMHO all companies have issues - it's not the issue that is important but the way a company resolves the situation. Kudos to Sarah Mann at VNXD for stepping in and acknowledging the issue and fully resolving the matter. What was a significant problem became a postive experience - thanks to Sarak.. I now upgrade my review to 4 stars (you drop one because of the original blunder)

Utter con, no value whatsoever

All talk, but nothing to show for my membership. Complete waste of money. Avoid

I rarely leave reviews but on this occasion I need to.

This so called NED network charged me £700+ on the promise of being able to find me NED roles. Then once I joined they changed their tune to imply that they did not promise anything and instead they were just a network.

Once joined you hear nothing from them. This is an absolute pointless service and you can do exactly the same for free on Linkedin or by joining an actual networking event.

I would give them 0 stars if I could.

Scam artists. Take your money, promise an email every week with leads. Nothing.

Then when I chase them, they're all hot a making a million promises.... nothing.

Save your money, apply for ned roles on LinkedIn.
