The 8^th March is International Women’s Day (IWD) which recognizes and celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks the need for progression in gender parity. The observance of IWD provides the opportunity to acknowledge the achievements women have made to overall benefit of humankind. The benefits of having women integrated into business are not only economic but also engenders improved communication and collaboration,  as well as inclusive working and problem solving. BBGV would like to honour and thank all the women who have taken responsibility and contributed so much the via their commitment to work, family, politics and society. This year also marks 100 years of women suffrage in the UK.
