"I believe the Women in Food & Drink Awards are a vital celebration of the incredible female talent driving our industry forward. Too often, women are underrepresented and underfunded, with only 2p of every £1 of venture capital investment going to female-founded businesses and just 13% of senior investment professionals being women. Yet their creativity, leadership and resilience are shaping the future of our sector every day. I’m proud to be part of something that shines a light on these exceptional women, inspiring others to step up and be seen"
