    At Ridgeview, we believe in fostering a culture of openness, support, and understanding around menopause in the workplace. We're committed to raising awareness and want to encourage other organisations and individuals to join us on this journey. We spoke to three team members who are instrumental in driving this change. Katharine, our Head of People & Development stated that “One in 10 women who experience menopausal symptoms have left employment because of these difficulties, that therefore it means it is critical to create a supportive working environment where everyone feels comfortable discussing menopause. We are currently #MenopauseCommitted and are actively collaborating with all our workforce on how we can support them; be it those experiencing symptoms or those who are working with them.” Karolina, Ridgeview’s People & Well-being Co-Ordinator, continued: "Support goes beyond policies – colleagues can make a huge difference by being empathetic and informed. Small gestures of understanding can have a big impact on someone's well-being." "Having leadership actively support these conversations is crucial. It sets the tone for the entire organisation and encourages others to engage openly,” added Esther, Tamara’s Executive Assistant. Together, we’re committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can thrive – and we celebrate other workplaces who join us on this journey.

    Our very English Harvest is here! It wouldn’t be a proper harvest without a little rain to keep us on our toes! But come rain or shine, we’re beyond excited to welcome this special time of year when all the hard work in the vineyard truly comes to life. The team has already begun hand-picking the best grapes, and the winery is buzzing with anticipation as the presses start rolling. It’s the beginning of a journey that will bring our next vintage to your tables. Harvest is always a beautiful reminder of how much passion and dedication goes into each bottle we create. We can’t wait to share the fruits of 2024’s labor with you all. Thank you for being part of our journey and for celebrating with us along the way. Here’s to another wonderful harvest and the joy that follows! #Harvest2024 #EnglishSparkling #LifeIsForCelebrating #Wine #Vineyard #Harvest

    This World Mental Health Day, we’re highlighting the importance of mental health in the workplace. Work can be a source of purpose, connection, and fulfillment, but it can also bring stress and anxiety. At Ridgeview, we understand the vital role a supportive workplace plays in protecting and improving mental health. By empowering our team to open up about their experiences and providing dedicated Mental Health First Aiders, we aim to foster a healthy and balanced environment for all. We asked three of our Mental Health First Aiders to share their insights: Simon Larder | Head of Facilities and Estate "A mentally healthy workplace is one where people feel safe to talk openly about how they're really doing. Checking in with colleagues regularly and creating spontaneous moments for conversation can make a big difference. It's all about building trust and ensuring no one feels alone when they're struggling." Karolina Niemyjska | People & Well-being Co-ordinator "Reducing stress and anxiety in the workplace starts with small steps: offering flexibility, encouraging breaks, and checking in with colleagues regularly. At Ridgeview, we run staff workshops on stress management and well being initiatives with Champion Health that help everyone feel more supported. Simple actions can go a long way in creating a culture of care and understanding." Mardi Roberts | Brand Ambassador "To break down the stigma surrounding mental health, leaders need to show vulnerability and encourage openness. Start by normalising mental health conversations in meetings or casual check-ins—it sends a clear message that mental well-being matters just as much as physical health." At Ridgeview, we believe in fostering an environment that not only prioritises open conversations but also provides real support. Together, let’s continue working towards creating mentally healthy workplaces - wherever we are.
