Host Liz Hunter and guests Andra Ilie and Gabbi Stopp share statistical insights and developing trends both in the UK and globally regarding approaches to family business ownership and leadership, through a gender lens. They also examine the diversity representation when it comes to participation in employee share plans operated by UK employers, share ideas on what more could be done to improve this, and then delve into the impact that female donors are making in the world of philanthropy and charitable giving.
