Women in Lighting Network at Manchester Furniture Show
Last Thursday the darc team made a trip into Manchester for the Manchester Furniture to support the Women in Furniture Networking Brunch.
The Women in Furniture Network (WFN) is a group founded by the team behind the Furniture Shows (Top Drawer, Scotland’s Trade Show, Home & Lifestyle Show, Janurary Furniture Show, Manchester Furniture Show, Home & Gift, Reveal), aimed at supporting women in the furniture industry through events, networking, mentorship opportunities and more. It gives women a platform and network to share their perspectives and learn and connect with other like-minded women in the industry.
The event consisted of refreshments and a special keynote speaker, Melinda Whittington, President and CEO of La-Z Boy, Furniture sharing her insights on her varied career from economics into design, and eventually climbing the ladder in the furniture industry.
