FEEDBACK FROM WOMEN PARTICIPANT

“First of all thank you very much indeed for inviting me to
participate in Tuesday's event. It was very enjoyable. I was
particularly fortunate to sit on tables with Michael Grade,
Mike Rake and David Tyler -- just as I had hoped! And The
Times piece was a surprise added benefit.”
Jasmine Whitbread

“One of the most useful boardroom networking events
I’ve been to. I particularly liked the use of the film as case-
study - I just needed longer to meet even more people.”
Patricia Hewitt

“Let me congratulate you on a truly phenomenal event
– you managed to bring together interesting, demanding Chair-men and NEDs; and talented, vigorous candidates; with a challenging and well thought out case study –
well done!”
Dr Louise Beaumont

“A quick note to say thank you for an excellent afternoon yesterday. It really exceeded all of my expectations. It was great to meet so many chairmen in one place and get
the benefit of their experience in how to deal with a very challenging boardroom situation. I also enjoyed meeting
so many talented women and hope to stay in touch with
many of them.”
Caroline Firstbrook

It was wonderful to meet so many interesting and talented women in addition to an exceptional opportunity to meet with the Chairmen.”
Julia Bond

“Just to say I enjoyed the whole afternoon so much, and got so much out of it. It was brilliant to have the chance to hear the different chairmen discuss the dilemmas posed by the Merriston story - and to get to know so many great women from other businesses.”
Helen Fraser

“Thank you for a fabulous event last week at Tate Modern.
It was superbly well organised, very enjoyable for the
participants and a fantastic opportunity to meet people.”
Dee Lehane

“I thought we had a great group of chairmen and women candidates present. The case study worked well, generating some very interesting discussions on the two tables that I was on. The event provided an opportunity for the women candidates to demonstrate how they would deal with difficult issues in a boardroom context. Congratulations on running
a very successful event.”
