Happy International Women’s Day from Butch Salads!
We want to take this opportunity to re-introduce ourselves to our followers. We are Hanne Cole (she/her) and Rachel Rumbol (they/them), professional chefs and caterers based in South East London. We have been running Butch Salads together for the past seven years.
As a proudly female and q***r owned catering company, we take immense pride in supporting women-led initiatives, communities, and businesses. We are inspired by an amazing community of cooks, food writers and eaters who surround us.
The journey of the Butch Salads team into catering was built around a response to a food industry which primarily centres male voices and poor work cultures. Diversity and equality are central to our ethos as a business.
We have fostered an alternative model of working in the industry which centres female leadership, collaboration with other small businesses, opportunities for learning and growth amongst our staff, alongside a diverse and inclusive work environment.
This IWD, we’re celebrating the women who drive innovation, progress and inspiration across the catering industry and beyond.
