More women on boards of Irish family firms than global average

Irish family firms enjoyed 84% sales growth in the last financial year versus 71% for their global peers — PwC 2023 Irish Family Business Survey

John Dillon, leader with PwC Private, says PwC’s 2023 ‘Transform to Build Trust’ highlights great confidence in Irish family businesses.

Irish family firms are more likely to have more women on their boards than the global average, according to the PwC 2023 Irish Family Business Survey.

The research also suggests that having a more diverse board has led to a stronger financial performance for the Irish family firms surveyed, whose 84% sales growth in the last financial year compared positively to 71% for their global peers.
