Later this month - June 27, to be precise - the latest announcement concerning the number of women on FTSE350 boards will be made. In November 2016, the Hampton-Alexander review called for a minimum of 33% of FTSE350 board positions to be occupied by women. Ahead of the June 27 announcement, some of the explanations offered by CEOs and Chairs for not appointing women have been published (as heard by members of the Hampton-Alexander review team) have been published and these indicate why progress has been slow in some quarters. The comments included: "I don't think women fit comfortably into the board environment"' and "Most women don't want the hassle or pressure of sitting on a board".
