Rose & Crown

This week’s Menovist, TLC, and all things wellbeing event has been such a joy, not least because of the wonderful speakers and entertainers who have brought the topics of menopause, mental health and wellbeing to life.

We started this incredible journey of sharing personal stories and discovery with our inspirational Operations Manager Becky Davies whose disarmingly vulnerable personal story about her experience of menopause on a live business has driven us on this incredible journey.

Thank you to Helen Tomlinson for sharing your lens of the golden thread of hormones running throughout our lives and the incredible work she has done to ensure menopause is no time to step back in the workplace.

To Molly Davis from the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) and Becky Davies for your brave and hysterical sharing of personal menopause symptoms. For Katt Williams from Zestfit for empowering us to choose strong, and to Emma Kay for sharing your incredible app Walksafe that was initially inspired to keep women safe when mobile, but now serves everyone.

Sarah Davies, we’ve learned loads about the impact hormones have on our lives and what we can do to help ourselves and each other.

Mandy Southall hosted an incredible panel, including the speakers and Dawn Gunther from the Dove and Rainbow pub in Sheffield.

And the final effusive thank you has to go to Shona Davis from Pernod Ricard for hosting our Sip & Paint session, and the fabulous retired nurse and now comic Zeph Churchill for ending the day with learning, song, and raucous belly laughs. What a day!

Now, on to day two for some TLC and wellbeing. This year’s event is certainly one to remember.

Last month, our Management Partners Olly and Louise reopened the doors of the fantastic The Havelock Arms following an investment with us🍻

Welcoming back the community with open arms, Olly and Louise are thrilled to be taking on their first pub business. They said: “We’re incredibly excited about this venture and couldn’t wait to welcome the community back through the doors.

“We are making it our priority to deliver excellent customer service and create an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment. We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received so far, and are looking forward to our future here.”🙌
