Members of Parable Trust
Members are invited to join the trust by the directors of Parable, and there is regular update and feedback within this growing community. Many members have their own businesses and have shared something of their wealth and needs with the company. It is essentially a two way mutually beneficial relationship, one of giving and receiving over the process of their business life. Members will have a login area for review of further details and programmes that are initiated by the trust.

Advisory Panel
We have also set up an advisory panel, which in the first couple of years is comprised of the members on the board of the ICCC and further key leaders in the business community. The role of the panel is to be available for ad-hoc consultation within the company and where required by our clients, to help in determining and qualifying suitable companies and their owners for consideration by the trust; and finally to oversee and monitor the Trusts investment performance and financial management.
