Meat Business Women and The Compleat Food Group partner to boost career advancement for women

Meat Business Women has announced a new two-year strategic partnership with The Compleat Food Group to advance the women in their business and support gender balance and inclusion across the meat and wider food industry.

At a time when the UK food industry is facing continued labour shortages, partnering with Meat Business Women demonstrates proactive leadership. The Compleat Food Group understands that building a gender inclusive workforce brings tangible business benefits, such as improved employee retention, greater engagement, and access to a diverse talent pipeline.

Hayley Kingdom, Chief People Officer at The Compleat Food Group commented on the partnership: “We're delighted to be partnering with Meat Business Women and to share the joint mission of supporting women in the food industry.  This partnership is an extension of our Women's network group at The Compleat Food Group - 'Women@Compleat' - an initiative focused on creating opportunities and empowering women throughout their careers and ensuring that Women are fairly represented at all levels of our organisation. With this partnership we can break down barriers and create a stronger, more inclusive future for women in leadership.”

Through this partnership, The Compleat Food Group will have access to exclusive insights and initiatives designed to support talent acquisition, as well as ensuring that their female employees have access to the right networks, role models, and learning opportunities to support their long-term career growth.

“We are delighted to support The Compleat Food Group in their ambitions for gender balance. They are setting the bar high for the food industry, showcasing tangible commitment to advancing and supporting the women in their business by investing in unlimited membership. We’re delighted to have them on board and to be working with their team” said Laura Ryan, Founder and Global Chair of Meat Business Women.
