Our founding UK operation was established in 2015, and quickly gained momentum when it was recognised that, in order to survive, the traditional British meat industry required immediate change. In particular, it was noted that the female talent pool was untapped.
Innovative industry leaders and trade bodies supported the initiative, and Meat Business Women swiftly grew its following with an exciting launch in Dublin (for the addition of our Irish group) soon to follow.
The UK & Ireland Committee is made up of eight people who voluntarily give up their time to support Meat Business Women. They are highly experienced industry professionals and work across the meat supply chain.
Our Meat Business Women sponsors represent some of the most progressive and innovative organisations within the global meat supply chain.
Their support provides our members with exclusive insights from worldwide brands in the form of executive interviews, webinar engagement, and market development predictions. These mediums demonstrate their commitment to gender equality.
They participate at both global and local events, and via membership content mediums.
Our local sponsors are valuable in-country partners that work with our local committees to organise and enable our chapter events. Providing much needed financial support for these local events, they also share their industry expertise and commitment to gender equality.
“Championing the meat industry as a great place to build a fulfilling life-long career – where everyone can express their full potential – is part of Meat Business Women’s strategy”
