Forty-eight more women are needed on boards of Britain’s top companies to meet the government’s target of 25% female representation on boards of FTSE 100 companies.
According to the 2014 Cranfield Female FTSE board report, just two FTSE 100 companies still have all male boards compares to five in 2011.
However, there are still 48 FTSE 250 companies with all-male boards.
Professor Susan Vinnicombe, director of the Cranfield International Centre for Women Leaders, says that “whilst it is extremely encouraging to see the overall figures moving in the right direction, the issue still remains that women are not being appointed to executive positions”.
