UK-based broker Chapman Freeborn saw a 48% increase in the number of women employed in management positions over the last year, in addition to a 9% increase in the number of women in the business as a whole.
It grew its total headcount by 3% overall.
Senior UK human resources business partner, Laura Smith, said: “Chapman Freeborn has a culture that prioritises ability and performance over individual characteristics. We are working towards an even split of men and women, in contrast to the wider aviation industry where the balance is as disparate as 80-20, men to women.
“There is clearly still much more work to do, but at Chapman Freeborn we will continue bolstering and celebrating our colleagues, regardless of their gender identity.”
