I’m Not JOhn

So What?

Guardian research shows the lack of women occupying the top jobs in FTSE100 companies. But this inequality is not unique to the corporate world: females are under-represented in senior management positions in charities, government and hospitality.

#Imnotjohn wants to provide women across the North West with role models who show that you don’t have to be a John, Dave, Mark or Andrew to succeed. We will be showcasing examples of female leaders who challenge this research, and give women wanting to rise up the ranks the belief that they too can be the boss in their chosen career.
