“What makes Equal Measures different and noteworthy is that it has recognised that discrimination exists in our industry and knows that this won’t be changed by simply adopting a hashtag or telling companies that they should probably think about diversifying their hiring practices. Barriers are sadly not broken that easily.”

“I am truly grateful to be a part of the Equal Measures community. The guidance and support provided by the EM team, industry partners, and fellow EMbers has helped me to build confidence in my abilities and develop an unshakeable belief that I deserve a seat at the table. Since joining Equal Measures, I have become more willing to take chances and for the first time can see myself having a long-lasting career in the drinks industry. I am so thankful to the EM team and I can't wait to pay it forward one day.”
