Women in Convenience

Connecting, supporting and empowering women working in the independent convenience channel.

Launched in 2022, Women in Convenience gives women working in the sector a platform to share their successes; a support network to discuss the issues unique to them; and access to the tools and knowledge to improve. It is backed by retailer ambassadors, who assist in raising the voice of women working within the convenience sector.
