‘More women than ever’ on company boards
More women than ever are now at the top of UK companies, Westminster’s business minister has said, as figures reveal a rise in the number of females sitting on boards.
Statistics released by the Hampton-Alexander review show that for the first time the FTSE 250 could meet the target of 33 per cent of board positions going to women by 2020.
As of 1 June, 32.1 per cent of FTSE 100 board positions were held by women – up from 12.5 per cent in 2011.
