The team celebrated International Women's Day 2022 on Tuesday 8 March with a presentation on this year's theme #breakingthebias
We then broke into groups to discuss personal experiences and perspectives on gender bias and how this may impact our home and work lives.
Special thanks to our colleague, Sophie Johns, for leading this impactful discussion.
