More than 1 in 3 UK boardrooms are internationally diverse

More than one in three bosses at the UK’s biggest listed firms are non-British nationals, and just one in eight groups in the FTSE 100 index have an all-British Board.

At the beginning of this month, 36 chief executives of FTSE 100 organisations were from overseas whilst 36% were non-UK nationals, according to a Financial Times analysis of data from Boardex.

The figures emphasise how the UK has developed to be among the most internationally diverse countries when it comes to the Boardroom.
