BM partners with Luminary Bakery

BM Caterers has announced a new partnership with social enterprise Luminary Bakery and its sister charity, Luminary Limited. The latter runs a two-year employability programme for women who have experienced disadvantage and gender-based violence, including domestic abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking, and may have no prior employment experience.

While some trainees may become bakers, the primary goal of the charity is to prepare women for broader employment opportunities, with the bakery providing placements that help trainees transition into work. As part of the collaboration, BM Caterers will offer Luminary trainees work placements across its sites over a four-week period.

'Truly inspiring'
Angus Brydon, managing director of BM Caterers, said: “We are delighted to partner with Luminary. The work it does is truly inspiring, providing incredible opportunities to women in challenging circumstances.”

Leila Siassi, managing director of Luminary Bakery, added: “It’s collaborations like these that enable Luminary to create lasting change in the lives of women who need it most. We’re incredibly excited about the impact this will have.”
