Women show how they’ve powered their way to the top in business

More than 40 per cent of board positions in FTSE 350 are now held by women -

There has been significant progress in British business when it comes to women holding senior positions. Initiatives like the 30% Club – a global campaign launched in the UK to increase the number of women on boards and holding senior roles – have had a real impact, with the proportion of board positions in the FTSE 350 held by women now standing at more than 40 per cent, up rapidly over the past decade.

The launch of the E2Exchange, or E2E, Female Track 100 for 2025 was another mark of that progress. In association with The Independent, E2E, the leading business networking and mentoring organisation, has published the definitive index of the 100 fastest-growing female-led or founded private businesses in the UK. The list is based on their profits growth rates over the past three years.
