  • Cranfield 100 Women to Watch 2018
    The Female FTSE Board Report 2018 - 100 Women to Watch 1 THE FEMALE FTSE BOARD REPORT 2018 100 WOMEN TO WATCH 2018 Dr Patricia Pryce, Director, Beauwest Consultancy Ltd; Visiting Fellow, Cranfield School of Management Jacey Graham, Director, Brook Graham (in association with Pinsent Masons); Visiting Fellow, Cranfield School of Management 2018 is a significant year for women in the UK. It marks 100 years since women (over the age of 30) gained the right to vote, the unveiling of the first statue of a female in Parliament Square (Millicent Fawcett) and the first time a royal princess (Princess Charlotte) gets to keep her position in line to the throne, despite the arrival of a baby brother (Prince Louis). And for the first time women’s representation on FTSE 100/250 boards hits a new high of 29%/23.7%. These figures provide evidence that talented women are increasingly ready to take up Executive and Board positions; however, such women are often not visible to decision-makers who influence shortlists for Non-Executive Director (NED) positions in FTSE 350 companies. In this, our ninth 100 Women to Watch supplement, we continue to showcase the broad and deep female talent pool for ‘UK plc’ to draw on. As always, we acknowledge that it is neither an exhaustive nor definitive list of the only talented women available for board positions; neither is it attempting to represent the best 100 women. Our profiles reflect a broad range of backgrounds and include women who hold senior executive roles in FTSE 350 firms and other significant organisations such as large non-listed companies, major charities, professional services firms, educational institutions and the Civil Service, and from many different disciplines and functions.
