Black History Month so far at Setfords!
October is Black History Month, and we’ve been marking the occasion at Setfords HQ with a programme celebrating Black culture, food and local businesses.
Each week, our Diversity Champions and bistro team are shining a spotlight on a different cuisine, so far we've had flavours from Nigeria and Ethiopia! 🇳🇬🇪🇹
We also kicked things off with an Afro-Caribbean cooking class led by Mercy Gent-Randall from our bistro team, who also runs her own business, Picky Tings. Our people had the chance to get hands-on, explore new flavours and create their own sauces.
Yesterday, we welcomed Guildford-based, mother-and-daughter-owned luxury fragrance studio House of Mahogany for an evening of scent blending and candle-making, alongside a pop-up shop showcasing their handcrafted products.
We’re looking forward to the rest of the month!
