High-achieving senior executives celebrated in inaugural competition, judged by business Leaders

Morag Freathy, CEO of Compass Group UK & Ireland’s B&I sector, has been named among the most effective female executives operating in the UK, following her inclusion on the Management Today Women in Leadership Power List 2024.

The list celebrates the most inspirational and visionary leaders across all sectors and professions, and is backed by Management Today, the country’s oldest and most trusted business media brand.

The list was judged by a range of senior business leaders and includes representatives of organisations such as BT, Pan Macmillan and Compass Group.

Morag has led Compass Group Business and Industry, which specialises in contract catering, food, cleaning and FM services, since 2019 and was previously Managing Director at Eurest.

Winners of the award were judged to have demonstrated a measurable impact on their organisations, whether in the form of increased revenues, improved diversity or a significant innovation.

The list complements the long-running Management Today 35 Women under 35 awards, which have featured some of the biggest names in British business over the years, from Dido Harding to Martha Lane Fox.

Claire Warren, editor in chief of Management Today, said: “The inaugural Power List attracted huge interest and has enabled us to shine a light on some of the brilliant – and sometimes unsung – women at the top of successful organisations. There are start-up founders, divisional leaders and CEOs of major businesses among our list, and every one of them has a fascinating story that deserves to be told.”
