On changing history and supporting female entrepreneurs: Jill Pay - Leading Stories
Jill Pay is a retired official of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. She was Serjeant at Arms in the House of Commons. Jill is the first woman to have held the position. Her appointment was unusual in that the position had hitherto normally been reserved for those with a military background. Jill's position conferred responsibility for security in the House of Commons. She retired on 31 January 2012.
Since leaving Parliament, Jill has held a number of senior roles for organisations including the children’s literacy charity Coram Beanstalk, the women’s business network Savvitas Global and the Women and Enterprise All Party Parliamentary Group chaired by Craig Tracey MP. She is a major driving force behind the acceleration and empowerment of female entrepreneurship internationally. She is also the Chairman of The Gender Index.
