A career highlight: Being very lucky to be invited to the launch of Women on Boards CIC®, but more so to have the privilege of taking a tribe that I fondly refer to as #TeamCambridgeshire to the UK House of Lords.
We were 18 strong in total representing Barnack Estates UK Ltd, Millrose, Midlife360 CIC, Evolve Your Future, The Jockey Club, PwC, The Shearline Group, eg technology Ltd, Katie Allen Consulting Limited, Azets, Rachel Nicholls, Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge, and Inspire Education Group.
Why was this so special? Well, we were very lucky to be hosted by Baroness Sandy Verma and heard a very pragmatic and personal address from Rt Hon Caroline Nokes, Chair Women and Equalities Committee.
But really, it was because the founders are pretty special people who wear their heart on their sleeves and lead with courage to enable positive change. It was a pleasure to finally meet Payal Walker and superb to be there cheering Sandra Wiggins on. Sandra Wiggins has over the years positively challenged me, to ensure the voice of business is a balanced and representative one. No soft talk, pragmatic, to the point and always supportive #weneedmoresandras. Thank you both for allowing Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce and our amazing community be a part of this special launch, the beginning of positive change to come.
