"In the 20+ years I’ve worked in the food industry I’ve worked for, and alongside, incredible women who go above and beyond the requirements of their role. I’ve watched women start businesses and transform industries and processes. I’m looking forward to be part of this endeavour that will shine a light on these outstanding people and help them to be recognised and appreciated by more of their peers."
