HALF of the UK's smallest companies have a female director, according to a survey by data company Experian, but women in business remain concentrated in areas such as hairdressing and social work.
In a study of 2.7 million business, the proportion of companies with between three and 10 employees, with at least one female director rose from 48% to 50% between 2007 and 2012.
At companies with more than 250 workers, the figure rose from 33% to 40%.
