Whitehall Shareholder Network

The Whitehall Shareholder Network was set up to bring together government officials from shareholder teams across all Government Shareholding Departments with an aim to assist with the sharing of best work practice and encourage the communication of relevant information across teams.

The aim of the Network is to improve the level of commercial and financial skills within Government Shareholder Teams. To achieve this, the Shareholder Executive has developed a suite of training courses which provide participants with the skills required to function effectively in a shareholder role.

The programme is modular in structure covering Areas such as understanding and interpreting financial information; creating shareholder value; appraising major financial transactions; and building and testing corporate strategy

In addition, the Shareholder Executive hosts a number of seminars relevant to the day to day working of the shareholding departments. However, these seminars and training modules are only available to government officials from shareholder departments. Over time, with the permission of the presenters, we will post any useful documents coming out of these seminars.

If any government officials are interested in participating in the training or knowing more about the network, please contact the Shareholder Executive through the feedback form on this website.
