UK Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Guide 

Understanding the remuneration framework for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) is crucial for effective governance and strategic decision-making.

This handbook serves as a comprehensive resource, providing an in-depth analysis of fee levels for NEDs and company Chairs within the FTSE 350 and FTSE SmallCap indices.

Recognising that NED fees are influenced by various factors, including the size of the organisation and the time commitment required, we have analysed data from key market indices: FTSE 100, FTSE 250, and FTSE SmallCap. Our analysis includes additional insights into the fee structures of companies in both the top and bottom halves of each index, offering a nuanced view of the remuneration landscape.

We trust that this handbook will be a valuable resource as you consider NED fee levels for 2025 and beyond.
