International Women’s Day – celebrating our Women In Food

Our Culinary Team members Millie Morgan and Leanne Tuck are showing their support to International Womens Day on Sunday 8 March.  

This year’s theme, Give To Gain, underscores the impact of generosity, reciprocity, and collective action in driving gender equality. 

When individuals, organisations, and communities give – whether through time, resources, knowledge, advocacy, or support – they help create meaningful opportunities for women and girls to thrive. 

Giving isn’t a loss; it’s an investment that multiplies. By supporting women, we strengthen our workplaces, communities, and society. 

From challenging everyday bias to celebrating achievements and championing women focused initiatives, Give To Gain reminds us that progress is a shared effort.

Small actions, taken collectively, build a more equal and connected world.
