About the Institute |
![]() |
As a worldwide association of members, the Institute of Directors (IoD) provides a professional network that reaches into every corner of the business community. Our membership spans the whole spectrum of international business leadership, from the largest public companies to the smallest private firms.
Membership of the IoD is individual - each member joins the IoD in his or her capacity as a director. Members receive a variety of benefits including information, advice, training, conferences and publications to help them maximise their potential. They also have an influential organisation on their side - representing their concerns to government - and at their side - providing professional business support, wherever it is needed.
All members have access to facilities in the heart of London and across many cities in the UK and on the Continent.
The Lancashire Branch of the IoD has approximately 300 members and organises a variety of local events for members throughout the year. People interested in joining the IoD may come as guests to our events,
