Welcome to the 100th episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast! We’re celebrating our centenary by discussing our food industry stories, what we’ve learnt from them and how we’re moving forward. It’s been a long road and really, we’re only just getting started!
In this episode, we discuss what we went through to get where we are today. We deepdive into our back stories and look at them through the angle of resilience, analysing how we overcame all the challenges that the food industry has thrown at us. You’ll hear about the four most important tools in our toolkit and how we’re advocating for change so that other food industry employers can lead a happier, healthier working life.
As our listeners, you’ve been a huge part of this journey with us and we’re very grateful for your support. To mark our 100th episode, we’re asking you to reach out and tell us what you want to hear from us next! You can get in touch with us via our Facebook or LinkedIn pages. And if you’ve enjoyed listening to us, you can show that by subscribing to the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast and leaving us a review.
