This International Women's Day on 8th March 2024, T.H.Baker joins the global call to #InspireInclusion and celebrate the achievements of women, not just on this day, but every day. We believe in a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, where diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental values.
As Cherrie L. Moraga said, "Women are the architects of society." We wanted to go beyond the usual clichés and unveil the real stories of these remarkable women.
Unveiling the Real Stories: A Look Beyond Clichés
Instead of generic platitudes, we sought inspiration from the very people who know these women best: our colleagues. We asked them to share stories about the women who inspire them, be it a mother, sister, wife, daughter, or even a colleague.
The response was overwhelming. We received countless heartfelt narratives, each a testament to the profound impact women have on their loved ones and the world around them. While individual stories vary, these few capture the common thread of inspiration.

Beyond the Scars, a Blooming Rose: My Wife
“My wife is a constant source of inspiration for me. She had a very difficult birth with our first child and a very tough pregnancy with our second, which have led to her having constant back pain. Since then, she has had struggles with her mental health including anxiety and depression. Despite all this, she still battles on to be the very best mom and wife she can be. She will always be my world and I am incredibly lucky to have her.” - Phil Harris, E-Commerce Web & Content Manager

Empowering Her, Empowering All: My Daughters
“I'm a father to two young girls and they inspire me every day with their spirit and energy. I wouldn't ever want them to feel that their gender should limit what they can do and what they want to be when they're older.” - Chris, CRM manager

My Guiding Light: My Mother
"My mother is the Kindest woman I know. She raised two children and was a loving wife while juggling two jobs. Her unwavering work ethic, her unwavering dedication to our family, and her constant love have shaped me into the family man I am today." - Roger, Head of E-Commerce
