MP probe into sexism in financial services: a leaky pipeline, broken first rung from entry level to manager & burnout are partly why there aren't more women in the industry, our global campaign manager @LWhitcombe83 tells the @DailyMailUK https://t.co/m6H47HPONk #womeninfinance

Celebrating a pretty big milestone for the @30percentclub tomorrow. 10 years of the world’s biggest cross company mentoring scheme, run by @MovingAheadOrg. My mentoring experience at @WIJ_UK changed my working life and led me to my current role - which feels like a vocation.

[30% Club @30percentclub]

Do you know we run the world's biggest cross-company mentoring scheme? 47% of mentees in the 2018 cohort were promoted within 3 years. It's moving the dial on diversity. https://t.co/HrBxjVE6O9

Great to see the number of female CEOs in the FTSE break free of single digits. There are now 10 female chiefs across Britain’s biggest businesses #genderequality #generationequality #progress

[30% Club @30percentclub]

The 30% Club is pleased to reveal the number of female CEOs in the FTSE 100 has hit double figures. There are now 10 women at the helm of some of Britain's biggest companies. Of course - that's FAR from 30% but it's progress! (Data courtesy of @BoardEx).

What a joy it was to meet my role model #MadeleineAlbright a few years ago. A #refugee who rose to one of the highest offices of state. I hope her story brings hope to some of our #refugees today. She was a tiny women who was a giant among people. #RIP https://t.co/RURJaxSII5
