Martha Lane Fox supports our #freshthinkingneeded campaign - to pledge your support visit changemakers.org.uk/campaign

by Be_aChangemaker

Following the launch of Changemakers’ Fresh Thinking Needed campaign, co-founder of Lastminute.com, Martha Lane Fox said:

“I was lucky enough to start a business at the age of 25.  When Brent and I started pitching for finance in the early Lastminute.com days it was impossible to convince people that the internet was not going to blow up.  When we finally made it through the door of one venture  capitalist, he peered through spectacles propped on the end of his nose, looked at me, and said ‘And what about if YOU get pregnant!’  Employers need to overcome stereotypes and recognise that if you’re good enough you’re old enough to hold a leadership role at work.”
