Afternoon Tea with Deborah Meaden for International Women’s Day
What a pleasure it was to be invited by Simon Scott-Nelson and Sadie Restorick from Wellity Global to capture their exclusive International Women's Day afternoon tea event with Dragon’s Den’s Deborah Meaden. The Dean's House at Exeter Cathedral provided such a beautiful setting for this intimate gathering of inspiring business leaders.
The Vision Behind Wellity Global
At the heart of this special event were Simon and Sadie, the founders of Wellity Global. Their company makes a real difference to over a million employees across 70 countries, helping create healthier, happier workplaces. Having Deborah Meaden join them for International Women's Day was a perfect reflection of their commitment to celebrating and supporting women in business.
A Warm and Personal Afternoon
The intimate setting created such a lovely atmosphere, where everyone had the chance to really connect. What made it particularly special was how Deborah took the time to speak with each guest personally, sharing insights and engaging in genuine conversations about business and leadership. The small group size meant everyone felt comfortable to share their thoughts and experiences.
Genuine Connections
While the afternoon tea was beautifully presented, it was the authentic moments that really stood out to me through my lens:
Women leaders sharing their experiences and wisdom
Deborah offering valuable perspectives on business success
Simon and Sadie sharing personal and moving stories about why workplace wellbeing is so important to them
Natural mentoring moments unfolding throughout the afternoon
The Heart of Wellity Global
Simon and Sadie have created something truly special with Wellity Global. Simon (recently named a 2024 Great British Male Advocate of the Year Finalist) and Sadie work with over 200 wellbeing experts, transforming how companies think about mental health at work.
A Meeting of Minds
What made the event so special was seeing how it brought together different perspectives on business leadership. Deborah Meaden's commercial expertise, combined with Wellity Global's wellbeing insights, sparked fascinating discussions about creating stronger, healthier workplaces.
Celebrating Women in Business
It was wonderful to see Wellity Global bring together so many remarkable women from the global organisations they work with. The afternoon was filled with inspiring conversations, shared experiences, and a genuine celebration of women's achievements in business.
