The IIB is a research and accreditation organisation established in 1984 to give independent businesses direct access to some of the country's top business people for practical advice and help.

The IIB is the largest organisation of its type in Europe, with nearly 4,000 Executive Associates having now been through its accreditation process.  It works predominantly with businesses in the 'Small to Medium size Enterprise' (SME) sector, providing access to mature senior executives who can act as 'sounding boards', and give support and mentoring whenever and wherever required.
