First Women Exclusives · March 8, 2016
Backed by the likes of Sherry Coutu, Martha Lane Fox, Joanna Shields, Anya Hindmarch, Neelie Kroes and Reid Hoffman, recent analysis has suggested that female entrepreneurs are making waves across Britain.
The analysis showed that there are 762 companies in Britain with female leadership that generate revenues of between £1m and £250m and are growing by at least 20 per cent a year. Collectively, these businesses generated £2bn more in sales in 2015 than in 2014, and 68 per cent are based outside of London.
We took a further look into the report, and talked with Coutu and Fox about their thoughts.
