Following on from Lord Davies' drive to increase the number of women on the boards of British companies the latest Government statistics show that women now account for 22.8% of FTSE 100 overall board directorships, which is an increase from 20.7% in March 2014 and 12.5% in 2011. The statistics also show there are now no all-male boards in the FTSE 100. 61 of the FTSE 100 companies, however, have still not reached Lord Davies' goal of 25% female representation by 2015. In the FTSE 250, women currently account for 17.4% of overall board directorships, but there are still 28 all-male boards.
