Evidence suggests that despite the retail industry employing 60% women, a very low proportion of those women are working in senior management. However, it seems that the tide is now turning for women at the highest levels; research released in January 2012 by the Professional Boards Forum found that the number of women directors in British boardrooms has reached its highest ever level (14.9%). The Specsavers everywoman in Retail Awards celebrate the success of the sector’s female leaders and seek to encourage a pipeline of future talent into the industry.
