Salus Services - What BAG membership means to them
Alice Adshead, Head of Project Services
One of last week’s highlights was attending the BAG Summer Seminar and evening reception. We found that it was very engaging, very well organised, venue was spot on and everyone was so friendly. Loved engaging with everyone in such a relaxed environment, lots of funny stories were shared. Particularly liked meeting with likeminded professional problem solvers like ourselves.
Marie Wehrly, MAD4 Business Ltd
“The BAG mentoring programme has been a game changer in my professional life. Having a mentor has helped me believe in myself, with my self-confidence and to see things from a different perspective. My mentor challenges me on what is needed and encourages and supports me as well. It is great to be able to have an honest and open discussion with someone who has been through similar experiences and learn from her. I wish everyone could have a chance to have such a mentor!”
Paula Pontes, MAG
“‘Thank you British Aviation Group for your leadership in inclusivity and this spotlight on #femaleleadership! and your continuous support and recognition for Women pushing boundaries across all Industries!’”
