I had all but given up hoping that any major corporation might resist the odious ’gender diversity in the boardroom’ campaign. So I thank Fred for pointing out a piece in the Times of 16 April 2012 which referred to Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc. Their ‘board diversity policy’ isn’t perfect but it’s the most intelligent board diversity policy I’ve seen in recent years in a major business:

I shall henceforth restrict my use of hotels to M&C hotels wherever possible, and encourage acquaintances to do likewise.
