At the IoD, we have been supporting businesses and the people who run them since 1903. As the UK’s longest running organisation for professional leaders, we are dedicated to supporting our members, encouraging entrepreneurial activity and promoting responsible business practice for the benefit of the business community and society as a whole.

Our aim is to support our members as they grow and develop their organisations. We have created a portfolio of membership benefits which are designed to provide the knowledge, tools and advice needed to help business leaders be more productive, competitive and profitable. Benefits included as part of the annual membership fee cover resources such as business information, advice and research, access to professional one-to-one advice, places to meet and do business, and the chance to network across the UK both on and offline. We also offer an extensive portfolio of professional development services pitched at director level.
