After five years of steady gains, women’s participation on British company boards has hit a wall.
Women occupied 27 percent of FTSE 100 board seats in May, little changed in the past 18 months. Only one in four board openings was filled by a woman in the past year, compared with one-third a year earlier, according to the Confederation of British Industry. And for the first time since 2014, a FTSE 100 company, ConvaTec Group Plc, has no women on its board.
