SOUTH WEST FIRM SPONSORS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY EVENT IN SWINDON
Fraser Allen Sponsors Swindon IWD
South West block management firm, Fraser Allen Estate Management, are sponsoring an International Women’s Day afternoon tea & networking event on Wednesday 8th March.
The three-hour event will recognise and celebrate women female leaders in the local community. It will be at Basset Down Complex, off j16 of the M4, from 11am – 2pm.Â
The women-only networking session provides a valuable opportunity to make new connections while enjoying a buffet style afternoon tea with fizz. Attendees will be able to table swap to maximise the opportunity to meet as many people as possible.Â
Jodie Fraser, managing director of Fraser Allen Estate Management, explains why her company wanted to recognise the day:
‘It’s important to continue to mark this day. Because despite the changes made around the gender pay gap and women’s rights in general, there’s still a long way to go. Flexible working is going to be key to ensure more women can maintain their positions in the workplace. Until we’re all on a level playing field, we must continue to support awareness days such as this.
The theme
This year’s theme is #EmbraceEquity, meaning creating a fair and equal world. Nick Gazzard, creator of the Hollie Gazzard Trust. That’s a Gloucestershire based charity started by Nick following the murder of his daughter Hollie by her ex-partner in 2014. That followed months of obsessive behaviour, stalking and harassment.Â
Jodie Fraser is also a corporate ambassador for the charity and will be talking to Nick Gazzard about the importance of the charity, and how women can keep themselves safe through his safety app – Hollie Guard.
‘Nick lost his daughter Hollie in the most traumatic way you could imagine. I’m inspired by his drive and ambition to keep young women safe. And when I heard about Hollie Guard, I knew it was something that would be a huge benefit to lone workers within my industry.Â
‘For us to tell the attendees about the Trust and the app is so important to keep raising awareness around personal safety.’
