Join Women in the Food Industry in the events room at The Lucky Saint for an essential panel discussion on “Women of a Certain Age“. We will bring together industry leaders and experts to explore the critical issue of an ageing population and how older women are regarded in hospitality, the media and the food industry. This event aims to foster dialogue, share best practices, explore lived experiences, and develop actionable strategies so that women of ALL ages have the opportunity to thrive in the sector.

To round off our party we had some insightful Fireside Chats with award winning nutritionist Christine Bailey, CEO of Brixton Wine Club, Louisa Payne and chefs Anjula Devi, Rebecca Marshman & Elisabeth Brown.

Christine provided an insightful overview of stress and the impact of stress on the body and how nutrition and lifestyle factors can optimize a healthy stress response and support overall mood and resilience.
