Press Release
UK mid market is losing female CEOs, but investors aren’t losing interest in diversity at the top
The number of women leading UK mid-market businesses has fallen to its lowest level in eight years, according to Grant Thornton’s Women in Business Report 2026. This slowdown comes at a time when external expectations around gender balance are rising sharply, particularly from investors and regulators.

For 22 years, Grant Thornton’s global Women in Business research has tracked progress on female representation in senior leadership across the mid‑market. This year’s findings reveal a world moving forward, and a UK in danger of losing ground. As last year’s report warned, without decisive action, the mid‑market risks creating a missed generation of female leaders. The 2026 data suggests that moment may already be here.
