FTSE 350 Index companies are on target to having women occupy a third of board seats by 2020, but the UK is "still a long way" from reaching the same figure across all senior roles. The latest report from the Hampton-Alexander Review has found that the FTSE 350 is on its way to meeting a goal of women occupying a third of board seats by the end of 2020. The report also found that only one in five directors were female, and just over half of those who held non-executive directorships had been women. The report also revealed 44 firms had all-male boards, while about 175 were shy of the 33% target.
