Anyone, of any nationality anywhere in the world can be appointed
director unless:

A LTD company can have 1 director and 1 secretary, also a sole director
cannot become company secretary. The company secretary of a LTD company
does not have to be qualified to hold the position
A PLC company must have at least two directors and the company secretary
must be qualified to hold the position.
Companies House Document CHN15 & CHN16 explains further the duties

office?
A company registered in England & Wales must have a registered
