Account director at BT, on why she set up pub industry mentoring scheme Athena to help more women into management positions
“I currently work for BT Sport but my background is in the pub industry which is a very male-dominated industry. I just felt there were a lot of decisions being made about women and where they were eating and drinking by men.”
Simon Stevens
Chief executive of NHS England, in front of the Health Select Committee
“The size of the provider deficit last year is more than explained, there are many moving parts, but is more than explained by just one thing which is the overspend in temporary staffing in the NHS. The provider sector overspent by more than £1.5bn on temporary staffing. The single most important thing that we’ve go to do is to dial back the spending on agency staffing.”
Robert Walters

“There is the beginning of a return in confidence — decent GDP growth. It is regionally based, as well as just London. It is a very favourable backdrop for the British economy after eight years of nothing much happening. It had to happen sooner or later. Our recruitment business is doing well.”
