Saxton Bampfylde continues to celebrate and support International Women’s Day to help forge a more gender equal world. As a firm we pride ourselves on having a workforce made up of 80% talented women and proud to be a community that celebrates all of our colleagues’ amazing achievements.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #InspireInclusion. At Saxton Bampfylde we celebrate our work in supporting many remarkable organisations to appoint women to a variety of board roles. As we continue to foster an inclusive environment, we remain dedicated to developing excellent opportunities for women to thrive and lead in the boardroom and beyond.
By way of recognising International Women’s Day 2024, we wanted to highlight some of our own female colleagues, who hold or have held board roles in an impressive range of sectors. So today we share some key themes and insights from discussions with some of our female partners; their experiences, wisdom, and advice about navigating the dynamics of a boardroom as a woman and how to start the journey of joining a board.
