Professor Laura McAllister is one of the most powerful women in European football. A former international captain and player, she is one of a small number of women who have broken through the glass ceiling to assert women’s place at the top of a male-dominated sport. 

In the latest episode of our 'In Conversation with' series, she talks with Senior Counsel Tim Rogers in an interview to coincide with International Women’s Day, telling him that while there have been great advances in equality for women and recognition of their increasingly popular sport, there is still a lot of work to be done at the highest levels of football administration to balance power and representation.

This week, one of the longest serving business leaders in Wales, Ian Price, Director of the CBI in Wales, has announced his retirement.
 
Devolution was in its infancy when Ian took up the challenge of representing major companies across Wales. Since then and during the intervening 19 years, political and economic change has continued as Wales tries to attract investment. It has been a process of renewal and reinvention. 

The closure last week of the last blast furnace at Port Talbot, once the largest steelworks in the UK, on the same day that Britain’s last coal fired power station closed down, is a current and visible reminder of the challenges that lie ahead. The end of an era. But what comes next?

In his discussion with Tim Rogers, SEC Newgate Senior Counsel, Ian reflects on the years if change, what has worked, and what hasn’t. The role of government and the challenges surrounding major schemes that have come to nothing. Why some success stories can show a different side to Wales – if only they can receive the recognition and the coverage they deserve.

From steel to sustainability- the changing face of Welsh business.
