The Testing Point (2023)

When Jane Perrin is appointed as a non-executive director at Ninebanks PLC by its egocentric chairman, Sir William Brown, she is tasked with investigating what is going on in its 'problem division', Leadgate. Led by a charming but hard driving chief executive, Richard Moss, Leadgate's troubles are accumulating... poor results, a dramatic resignation, questionable accounting, claims of bullying and harassment, and a potentially serious environmental issue. But has Jane's assignment been given in good faith or are there other motives at play? As she begins to uncover the truth, she starts to see that the root of Leadgate's issues may lie closer to the centre of Ninebanks than anyone wishes to admit. But will she be a force for good - risking finding herself 'out of the tent' - or remain 'on the team' and potentially become part of the problem?
