According to official figures, only 1 in 5 businesses in the UK is currently run by a woman. Despite this, we should all be encouraged by the rapidly growing number of women who are powering through traditional barriers to success, to now run their own companies or excel in directorial roles.
Many talented women are now fulfilling their potential due to the step-change taking place in leading boardrooms and businesses, along with the various awards, dedicated networking events and support groups for women.
