Female Financial Directors Reach New Salary Heights

Thu, 30 Aug 2007

Female finance directors in the UK are earning more money than some of their chief executive counterparts, a new survey by the Guardian newspaper has revealed.

Figures from the survey show that women finance directors are at the top end of the female executive pay rankings, with FDs such as Jann Brown of Cairn Energy earning an annual salary of £1.9m – ranking her as the third-highest paid female executive in the UK .

Lloyds TSB’s FD Helen Weir was ranked 5th with an annual salary of £1.3m, while Rona Fairhead, the FD of Pearson who was subsequently promoted to chief executive, also faired well in seventh place with an income of £1.1m.

The strong salaries of the FDs highlighted their rise above other high profile directors, such as Whitbread executive director Angie Risley (£1.2m) and Drax chief executive Dorothy Thompson (£731,800).
