More women than ever before are starting new companies in the West Midlands, new research has found.
A study led by NatWest chief executive Alison Rose found that 13,796 companies were established by women in the region last year, more than triple the amount in 2018 when the figure stood at just 4,134.
The Rose Review Progress Report 2022 also suggests that female-founded businesses account for a record share of new firms, outstripping growth in male-led firms for the first time.
