The Telegraph is spotlighting the 1,000 most powerful people in British business. These top-ranked British-based business people are drawn from a range of industries.
British business was divided into ten broad sectors in the survey ran by The Telegraph. A top 100 list in each sector highlights the achievements, colourful backgrounds and in some cases the unusual personal interests of the highest-placed executives.
Some of what the list of the top 1,000 people in British business demonstrates, is – that there are still far too few women and people of ethnic background in the top positions in UK finance, business and industry.
List of the industries mentioned at the survey:
• Public sector• Healthcare and chemicals• Industry• Property• Private equity and hedge funds• Media and entertainment• Technology and telecoms• Banking and insurance• Energy, utilities and transport• British retail and food
