A boss of one of the UK’s largest listed 100 companies earns £3.5m a year on average, the CIPD, the professional body for HR found.

The average full-time worker in the UK earns £29,574.

The report also showed a continued big gender gap at the top of big firms.

In 2018, only six of the FTSE 100 companies had a female boss, down from seven in 2017.
