Commenting at The Launch of the Suite, British-born Founder, Dee Poku said “It’s a real cause for celebration to see our brand go global with the launch of The Suite in the UK, one of the most creative and dynamic markets in the world! We have to thank every single one of our members across the pond for really making The Suite what it is. Everyone in the network is focused on providing those all-important introductions; making deals; exchanging ideas and creating together, for the betterment of each other and future generations, which is something we feel extremely proud of.
“This new community is about impact. It’s about redefining success with an inspiring network of women – in support of each other - shaping business and culture for a vision of a world we want to see. It’s a different business as usual that I’m confident British women will not only embrace but accelerate to effectuate change in the workplace, community and wider society."
Mulberry added “We are proud to partner with Dee Poku for The Suite’s first moment in the UK. The values of The Suite - creating a network which supports and champions women reshaping business and culture to drive positive change - so closely align with our own vision at Mulberry. Creating change within our industries is a constant work in progress. The paradigm shift required will only be possible through mentorship, collaboration and partnership.”
