🌟 Exciting News 🌟 We’re thrilled to kick off this year’s Food Academy Programme in partnership with the Local Enterprise Offices. Recently we welcomed our new producers at the annual conference. This induction day was a fantastic opportunity for them to connect with fellow producers and industry experts from across the country. Over the coming months, participants in the Food Academy programme will undergo training in areas such as branding, sales, marketing, social media, finance, and food safety and quality. The programme features immersive workshops, enabling producers to apply their learnings practically before progressing to the next topic. In addition, participants will benefit from one-on-one mentoring with experts from the food and retail sectors, including Musgrave personnel, who will support them in overcoming business challenges. This mentorship empowers local food and drink producers by enhancing their skills, helping them thrive in today’s competitive market. We look forward to seeing these innovative products on SuperValu shelves next year.🙌 Food Academy is a unique food and drink business development programme between SuperValu and the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs). Food Academy producers have sold a combined €230 million of product in SuperValu since 2013, supporting 1,500 jobs in the economy. #FoodAcademy #SuperValu #LEO #SupportLocal #TasteOfLocal #LocalAndIrish Carmel Biggane Ciara McClafferty Denis O'Sullivan Cummins Claire Tomas Hayes James Burke

To mark World Menopause Day, we had the privilege of hosting an insightful 'Let's Talk Menopause' webinar, in partnership with Menopause Network. A big thank you to our special guest, Sallyanne Brady, founder of The Irish Menopause, for sharing her vast knowledge on this important topic and helping us better understand the challenges and realities of perimenopause and menopause. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Lorraine Shanahan, one of our colleagues, for bravely sharing her personal menopause journey and what being part of our organisation's Menopause Network means to her. This event was a great opportunity for colleagues to gain knowledge on this important topic and understand how to be better allies for those experiencing menopause, both in their personal lives and in the workplace. We are dedicated to fostering inclusion and diversity. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), including the Menopause Network, are important in creating a more inclusive Musgrave. Together, we can create a workplace and community where everyone feels valued, respected and included. 🤝 #WorldMenopauseDay #MenopauseInTheWorkplace #LifeAtMusgrave, #Musgrave Matt O'Callaghan Siobháin Scanlon Eileen Biggs Liz Larkin
