ACE thrilled to host 4th International Women's Day Lunch!

Our 4th ACE International Women’s Day event this year was held on the 7th of March at The Midland Grand Dining Room, a stunning venue in the gorgeous 5-star St. Pancras Renaissance. This year it was a members only event and our female members were all encouraged to bring a younger rising star from their business. Over 80 women attended this year’s event and celebrated under the theme “Accelerate Action” - a call to push forward and create real change for gender equality.

International Women’s Day 2025 is not just about celebrating women; it’s about taking action to build a fairer and more inclusive world. Guests got a chance to take a picture on the famous staircase most well-known for the Spice Girls ‘Wannabee’ music video.

Natalie Mainwaring hosted a brilliant and insightful discussion panel with Alice Barrett, ACE Robyn 2024 winner and Head of HR, RA Venues, Sarah Miller, Managing Director, Green & Fortune and Lisa Jenkins, CEO, The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and after dessert the incredible Jodi Goldman did an enlightening talk on Girl Power.  Money raised from the raffle went to the charity, London’s Community Kitchen.
