Bvalco

Bvalco helps boards to prepare for the future, with external board reviews that catalyse open debate into the best ways to boost the health of the board going forward.

Our unique blend of business, governance and human behavioural expertise enables us to provide deep – yet actionable – insights into any issues limiting the ability of your board to thrive.

Primarily used by the FTSE 100, we also work with other boards committed to enhancing their ability to meet future challenges. Including Aim listed, subsidiary, large family, privately owned, sporting and charity boards.

“We used Bvalco to carry out our board review for three years in a row. The recommendations were very insightful. Overall it made the board process more efficient and improved understanding of the respective roles of the executives and non-executives.”

Douglas Flint, Former Chairman, HSBC Group

“Often when you go in for a board review everyone sits around the table agreeing but then the report gets put away and nothing happens. Bvalco’s recommendations were very good - substantial but not too long. It made the board more reflective and creative.”

Clarissa Farr, Fellow (NED), Winchester College

“We found the analysis was thorough and the final report was focussed and concise, without superfluous comment. The board will put the recommendations to good use and we would be happy to work with Bvalco again.”

Charles Sinclair, Chairman, Associated British Foods plc
