Director candidate presentation in 2025
In addition to a compulsory candidate profile statement, candidates have the option of preparing a video statement and undergoing a review by independent governance consultants, Propero.
Where a candidate opts for the Propero review, they will be contacted by Propero shortly after their nomination is confirmed by Ravensdown. Propero will review each candidate and prepare a one-page summary of key skills and experience related to their governance attributes.
Propero will also provide commentary and a number scale indication on a candidate’s aptitude in the relevant governance attributes to allow comparison between candidates.
Where a candidate opts to prepare a video, a Ravensdown representative will be in contact with them to set up a time to record the video via the Microsoft Teams platform. The video can be up to three minutes long.
Full details are provided in the 2025 Director Elections Candidate Information Handbook.
