The UK chapter of Women in Toys will host a virtual Tea and Biscuits meeting this Friday morning (from 11AM to 12PM) to enable both members and non-members to come together to network, socialise and chat with others in the industry.
The subject of chat – hosted on Zoom – will range from business to home schooling to missing the pub on a Friday night. Attendees will also learn about ToyAid, the new charity which supports families and children of front-line workers.
“It’s been far too long since we all had a good old industry catch-up, so we have created a virtual space where everyone can check-in and feel part of our fabulous industry again until such a time when we can all get together again,” said Trudi Bishop, Co-Chair of the UK Chapter of Women in Toys, adding: “Don’t forget to bring the biscuits!”
