The TCi 100 is a snapshot of the year in technology and the people behind the scenes that are helping to redefine digital business in London and beyond.

TechCityInsider’s criteria for inclusion in the list, which features a total of 31 women and 68 men, include business ideas, founder experience, reputation, and contribution to the community and future prospects.
Flavell continues, “It is exciting to see so many women in the TCi 100. I am extremely passionate about encouraging more women to pursue a career in IT and seeing TechCityInsider showcase the successes of these many women will do just that.”
FDM’s CEO, Rod Flavell said, “It is down to Sheila’s hard work and commitment in making FDM one of Europe's fastest growing IT services providers that has enabled her to attain an spot in the list. She has been instrumental to FDM’s expansion and growth, enabling the company to be the UK’s largest IT graduate employer (FDM will be hiring over 1000 graduates in 2014)”
This recognition comes at a time when FDM has reached a milestone for its global Women in IT campaign; announcing a rise in female employee figures reaching 25% worldwide, well above the 17% industry average. Flavell said, “Reaching 25% women in our overall global workforce is a fantastic achievement for us. We pride ourselves on continuing to drive gender diversity in the workplace, and this statistic is a true testament to our ongoing commitment to encouraging and supporting more women to pursue a career in IT.”
