We had a bit of a desk shuffle at Speed towers this week, and suddenly I find I’m the only woman on my pod, surrounded by a team of testosterone filled men.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I love it. I love the blokish banter (in fact, the niche dating web site blog from earlier this week was as a direct output of it), there are no occasional emotional outbursts (unless they’re originating from me) and they’re not that bad at making tea either.  To make it all the more interesting, I’m the boss (okay, joint head of the technology team here at Speed).  Now what I wondered is, is it really that unusual for a woman to be the boss of a team of men in today’s tech PR industry? I’d like to think things have moved on, but I suspect that in far too many PR agencies it’s men who land the top jobs – for whatever reason.

I really do hope things are changing, as it’s quite good fun from where I’m sitting…
