At a time when our industries are crying out for skilled managers and leaders, there are thousands of talented women who can step up to the plate, given the right support. We want to give women the skills, confidence and inspiration to go for more senior roles, help them build their personal networks and help organisations understand how and why they should support their female managers to reach the top.

We are doing this through:

  • Training – our continuous professional development programmes transform women’s leadership capabilities and give them the skills to take the next step in their career
  • Mentoring – we give women access to personal advice and guidance from senior leaders they would not usually have access to
  • Resources – our ‘Little Book of Diversity’ is a practical guide to increasing the gender balance in your senior team
  • Awards – our annual Shine Awards shine a light on the women who are making a difference in our industries
  • Top 100 Club – we have established a growing network of influential women to act as role models and ambassadors for future female leaders
  • Thought leadership – we encourage people, businesses and media to talk about why there aren’t more women in senior positions, and what we can do to change it
  • Consultancy – we offer a bespoke service for businesses that want to improve their gender balance
