Celebrating International Women’s Day at MDS


At MDS, we’re proud to celebrate International Women’s Day by recognising the outstanding contributions of women within our organisation and beyond. As one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive, lead, and inspire.

Championing Women in Leadership

Our commitment to gender equality is reflected in our strong female leadership team, who play a pivotal role in driving our success. Their vision, dedication, and passion set an inspiring example for all.

“I am incredibly proud to see MDS recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women. We are committed to fostering an environment where women feel empowered, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Celebrating the contributions and successes of women across our organisation is fundamental to our culture and our continued success.” – Saffy Waterson, CEO of MDS

Creating a Great Place to Work for Women

We’re proud to be named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women. This recognition reflects our dedication to creating a workplace where women can thrive and lead with confidence. We’re always working to foster an environment that promotes gender equality and celebrates women’s achievements.

For many of our team members, this inclusive and supportive culture has made a real difference:

“Being on MDS has given me the opportunity to meet and work with strong women in the food and agriculture industry who are excellent role models and mentors, helping me through the programme and the rest of my career. They have made sure that I am involved in all processes and many important decisions, always valuing my opinion. Seeing women advocate for each other and celebrate each other’s successes is incredibly inspiring and something we should all strive to do, regardless of whether it is International Women’s Day.” – Bethan Oliver, MDS Trainee

By fostering an environment where women feel valued, empowered, and heard, we continue to build a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Looking Ahead

As we mark International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering women, nurturing talent, and building an inclusive workplace. We’re excited to continue supporting women in reaching their goals and inspiring future generations of leaders.
