Jim Coupe, Managing Director of Skipton International has been awarded the coveted Chartered Director status by the Institute of Directors (IoD).
The IoD Chartered Director status is a globally recognized benchmark qualification. To qualify candidates need to have passed the IoD Certificate and Diploma examinations in Company Direction, submit a portfolio of evidence demonstrating substantial board experience and sound governance; which is then verified through a peer review interview by two experienced Chartered Directors.
Jim said he was delighted to have received the Chartered Director status: ‘It is vital that today’s leading Directors are able to demonstrate professionalism and excellent corporate governance at a time when these qualities are very much in the spotlight. It can only benefit Channel Island companies if we encourage our colleagues and business leaders to work towards this qualification. Two of the key elements that I was required to demonstrate are expertise and integrity, and I am proud to say that I exercise these qualities on a daily basis whilst leading the team at Skipton International.’
Jim became Managing Director of Skipton International in 2011, after first joining the company as Commercial Director in 2009. Prior to this he was Broking Operations Director at Central Trust plc.
