Only one female FD in FTSE 100 after 3i demotion

Julia Wilson is set lose her place in the prestigious ranks of FTSE100 FDs when 3i crashes out of the top flight index later this month.

After the reshuffle only Jann Brown, FD of Cairn Energy holds a FTSE 100 position. Evelyn Bourke will become CFO of Friends Provident later this year after serving her notice period at Standard Life.

The FTSE Group said that on 23 March, 3i Group, Tate & Lyle, London Stock Exchange Group, First Group, and Wolseley will leave the FTSE 100 and be replaced by silver miner Fresnillo, platinum producer Lonmin, oil & gas solutions provider Petrofac, Intertek Group and Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust.
