Meat Business Women
Meat Business Women was founded in 2015 by Laura Ryan. Laura had worked in the meat industry for over a decade and was struck by the limited number of females in the industry, particularly at Board level. Having become extremely passionate about the sector and she felt the industry was challenged by the lack of female talent from outside of family-owned businesses and launched a professional networking group to showcase the meat sector as a positive a career choice. Interest in Meat Business Women has grown phenomenally on both a national and international level. Working with territory partners Meat Business Women holds events across, UK & Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and USA. Meat Business Women has recently been recognised by the United Nations with Laura presenting on the contribution Meat Business Women makes to the global Sustainable Development Goals.
