Laura Ryan, Global Chair of Meat Business Women says “We’ve had a long-standing relationship with AHDB and am delighted to formalise this partnership and provide their employees with career-enhancing tools, whilst promoting the sustainability of our sector by attracting and retaining the best possible talent.”
