IGBF & TWIG Charity Initiatives
A new women’s networking group called Today’s Women in Grocery (TWIG) has been set up as a sub-committee to the Irish Grocer’s Benevolent Fund (IGBF), which has been serving the Irish grocery industry since 1981 by providing an important industry network and donating essential financial relief to members of the trade and their families. The IGBF has evolved considerably over the past 35 years and the move to establish a female focused professional networking forum for women in the grocery trade and food sector recognises the growing representation of women in the sector and the important role they will play in its future development.
