Bournemouth Water parent company leads the way for women for another year

Bournemouth Water’s parent company has claimed the bronze position for the number of women on its Board and in senior positions.

Pennon’s commitment to diversity is highlighted in the latest edition of the FTSE Women Leaders Report.

The report, which is independently conducted and backed by the government, looks at 250 footsie companies.

The group – which has both a female Chair, Gill Rider, and Chief Executive Officer, Susan Davy, pictured – is one of only a few FTSE-listed entities where women on the Board outnumber their male counterparts.

Adele Barker, Chief People Officer, said: “We’re over the moon to feature prominently in this report once again.

“It’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to diversity across our business landscape.

“We’re not just creating a workplace; we’re forging an environment where everyone thrives, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background.

“Being one of the select few FTSE 350 companies with a female CEO and Chair is a source of immense pride for us.

“By championing gender balance, we are set to innovate, unite the best minds and embrace diverse perspectives to create a lasting legacy for our customers and communities.”

The FTSE Women Leaders Report tracks the action of companies in dismantling barriers hindering talented women’s progression into directorships and senior executive roles.
