      <image:title>Round-Up (Posts) - Rethinking gender pay gap reporting</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kerry Round, Founding Director of Round Governance Services (RGS) says, “I struggle with this because I think ultimately the calculations for producing the gender pay gap are flawed – companies with large group structures can simply manipulate the data and until that’s rectified, I continue to have my doubts whether this is taken this seriously at all by the executive”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Round-Up (Posts) - Rethinking gender pay gap reporting</image:title>
      <image:caption>As Jane Powell FCG, Associate Director at RGS says, “The gender pay report doesn’t really say anything about pay policies in the organisation. Companies should be complying with equal pay legislation so people on the same jobs should be on the same pay.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Round-Up (Posts) - Rethinking gender pay gap reporting</image:title>
      <image:caption>Claire, RGS Solicitor and Senior Governance Associate believes this is where the real insight lies, “I always think the more interesting aspect than pay are the barriers to progression which still exist.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I had my son, I wanted to create a world that allowed me to be present for him without sacrificing my career. Enter stage right – RGS.   I created two entities that needed my attention in 2017. And doing so truly reshaped my perspective on leadership, work and what matters.  From day one, our foundations have been built on:  A positive, human-centred culture  Flexibility without compromising quality  Integrity in every interaction</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Topic: Cyber risk and how good governance can help  “Cyber risk is ever present, with it being a question of when, not if, an organisation experiences a cyber incident. Good cyber governance will not only assist with the preparations ahead of any attack but is also critical for when an organisation faces a real incident. In this session, we will consider what good cyber governance looks like drawing on relevant guidance and real-life examples.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Kerry Round, FCG Founder| Chartered Secretary| Lead Consultant| Member of the CGIUKI Board| Fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute| Member of the CGIUKI Public Practice Scheme</image:title>
      <image:caption>I make no secret that I’m determined to make the world a better place through good governance. My brain is an encyclopaedia of governance knowledge that I’ve been curating for 20 years in the business; I use it to support and assist clients from various organisations. I love troubleshooting, seeing the value our changes bring to clients, and building relationships along the way. I established RGS to continue in the career I loved and because I needed flexibility to raise a young family. It’s hard work, but it’s also a privilege. It’s important to me to extend the ‘work anywhere, work anytime’ ethos to my team, and I’m proud of the organisation we’re building. Away from work you’ll find me climbing mountains, running through the countryside or on a bike somewhere.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Helen Coley, ACA Non-Executive Director</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve worked for large corporates in senior finance roles for over 20 years. I understand how they operate and what makes good governance. To bring my expertise to RGS enables Kerry and the team to prepare for the long-term sustainable success of the business. This strong foothold allows our clients to be supported by a governance consultancy who are professional experts, reliable, and in it for the long haul. I’m used to constructively challenging so that RGS remains aligned with its purpose and long-term strategy. Outside of work, I live for interior design, and I’m renovating several properties.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Kim Carey Governance Manager</image:title>
      <image:caption>I've worked with Co Secs as part of the governance world for over 18 years. I've spent many years organising, prepping and planning board meetings. I have proofread more reports and accounts than I care to admit and spent many a LONG night getting them 'over the wall'! in 2025 I achieved my professional proofreading and editing qualification, which ensures quality surrounding clients' policies, reports, and documentation is tighter than ever. I'm a 'Jack of all trades' and proud of that. There’s a kind of unwritten status to tasks rendered unworthy of one's attention once you’re out of the junior ranks. Well, that has no place in my manual. I'll happily type up your minutes, file a confirmation statement, organise your board meeting, or project manage your report and accounts process. I'm a can-do. I can, and I do. And what's more, I love it. Away from the office, I love nothing more than a sing song with my local amateur dramatics group.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Claire Taylor Solicitor| Senior Governance Associate</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I trained as a solicitor because I wanted to understand the way people connect with people. What I found was that people and their personalities have an impact on every single legal transaction. I've since discovered that governance is exactly the same!   I've worked across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors for large companies, statutory charities and local government. Every organisation has a new set of rules and relationships to understand – it never gets boring!   My legal background means I can quickly grasp every RGS client's unique governance framework and succinctly explain complex situations diplomatically - in the form of advice for the Board, policies or reports.   Away from work, I'm a busy mum to three boys. I attempt to get some "me time" as an amateur artist exhibiting in local shows and exploring bookbinding.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Jane Powell, FCG Chartered Secretary| Solicitor| Governance Associate Director</image:title>
      <image:caption>I started in private practice as a solicitor but quickly realised I wanted to be closer to the action – to see the value of my work in real-time. That’s what led me in-house and into a general counsel role. Governance came with the territory initially, but over time, it grew into something I genuinely enjoy and care about.  These days, I work with all sorts of businesses, from big-name conglomerates to founder-led companies and purpose-driven organisations. I love helping clients make governance real, practical, and part of how things get done.  Outside work, you’ll find my green fingers gardening or playing the piano. I’m also a proud Lincoln City FC season ticket holder (previously, a director, now turned die-hard fan in the stands!).</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Jodi Overing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Office Manager With a solid background in the world of planning and logistics, I honed my skills as a supply planner, always striving to unravel the intricacies of each process and find unique ways to improve them. This is my idea of fun in the workplace and it’s what I love to do for RGS! I've recently embarked on an exciting journey into the realm of social media marketing. Combining my love for strategic thinking and creative storytelling, I've discovered a passion for crafting compelling online stories that captivate audiences and drive engagement. When I'm not immersing myself in work, I'm a devoted mum to three energetic young boys who keep my world spinning. Life outside the office is full of laughter, adventure, and countless moments of joy. And in those rare moments of respite, you'll find me handmaking aromatherapy products.</image:caption>
