Laidlaw Women’s Leadership Fund

“Unfortunately, many women reach a glass ceiling, particularly in the corporate world. I am deeply committed to helping more of them break that glass ceiling through expanding access to top business education,”
Lord Laidlaw, Chairman of the Laidlaw Foundation

London Business School and Laidlaw Foundation share a commitment to women in business and women’s initiatives. As well as this shared commitment, we also share a joint vision – to help exceptional women to excel in their careers, regardless of their background. The Fund aims to attract exceptional women from a diverse range of backgrounds, in particular women who may not otherwise be able to afford a top-tier business education.
