Hampton-Alexander Review 2020 Report Published

The figures revealed in today’s report demonstrate real progress in the numbers of women holding Non- Executive Director roles (up at 42%), but at the same time show far less progress in the number of women CEOs and the number of women holding Executive Committee positions (only 25%).
