History

[edit]

In Touch Networks launched its first network, NonExecutiveDirectors.com, in 2013.[3] This network was developed to give professionals the skills necessary to successfully make the transition into a non-executive career and allow companies to hire these candidates without heavy recruitment fees.

Having established NonExecutiveDirectors.com as the UK's largest non-executive director network,[5] the company expanded into other sectors, launching four additional networks within 3 years – TheConsultantHub.com, FinanceDirectorNetwork.com, WomenDirectors.com and finally InvestorDirector.com.[6] In 2016, The company also founded a charity, In Touch Futures.[7]

In December 2018, the company decided to merge all individual networks into one unified network branded In Touch. This was to allow members the flexibility to access more opportunities across sectors. At the same time, the company moved to a new HQ in central Manchester.
