In celebration of International Women’s Day, we went to for a panel discussion hosted by the ever-dynamic featuring five hospitality heavyweights from across the industry.

The conversation explored networking as a powerful tool for sharing knowledge and experience, and how it can help create greater balance within hospitality.

It felt so special to ‘take out’ the gals and celebrate their dedication to this industry. I believe networking comes quite naturally to the women of BABs, who within the bakery are curious, analytical and always wanting to challenge themselves. We are so proud to work alongside them and to be learning and growing together - just bloody love the lot of you!
