There’s an extremely low number of women agency owners in the UK.
It’s been difficult to pinpoint an exact percentage, but speaking to my network, Robert Craven of The Directors Centre, and The Wow Company, it sits somewhere between 12% to 27%.
The Wow Company’s recent survey of 471 agency owners across the UK has the figures as Female 27% – Male 73%
I’m passionate about increasing that number, and I’m on a mission to understand what it is that’s holding us back.
Is there a common theme? Are we held back by a lack of confidence? Do we need extra support, additional training?
Over the next 6 months I’ll be interviewing leading women founders to discover what additional challenges they’ve faced setting up and growing their agencies.
If you’re a woman agency owner drop me a message, I’d love to talk to you.
