At Clece Care Services, we believe in empowering our people, championing professional development, and investing in leadership at every level. That’s why we were proud to take part in the launch of the Mentoring Breakfast Series, a new initiative by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom, designed to connect and inspire the next generation of female leaders.

Our Head of Marketing and Digital Communications, Lois Adamson, attended the first session of this exciting new programme, representing Clece Care Services as both a participant and advocate for women in leadership within the care sector.

Championing Growth Through Mentorship

The event, held in London, brought together a dynamic group of female professionals across a variety of sectors for a morning of mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and empowerment. Hosted in a speed-mentoring format, each mentee had the opportunity to engage in focused discussions with several mentors, creating a rich and fast-paced environment for reflection and insight.

The session was led by Raquel Barrera Moreno, a respected Board Member of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and founder of the diversitas institute, a consultancy that promotes diversity and inclusion in leadership and corporate environments. With Raquel’s expert guidance, the session created a safe and engaging space for open dialogue and honest conversation.

Key Takeaways: Leadership, Growth and Career Direction

Topics covered during the morning included:
• Career development and navigating professional transitions
• Leadership confidence and how to build influence in a competitive environment
• Personal growth, resilience, and work-life balance
• The importance of mentorship networks in shaping long-term success

For Lois, the session was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and explore new strategies that can be brought back to the Clece Care Services team. It also reinforced our commitment to creating pathways for women within our organisation to take on leadership roles and contribute meaningfully to the growth of our company and the wider care sector.

Strengthening Our Commitment to People Development

Clece Care Services is proud to maintain a strong and collaborative relationship with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the UK, whose initiatives continue to foster professional development, inclusion, and business innovation.

Lois’s participation in this mentoring programme is not only a reflection of her own leadership journey but also part of a broader commitment by Clece Care Services to invest in talent development, champion gender equality, and build a culture where our people are supported to thrive.

We look forward to the next sessions in the Mentoring Breakfast series and are excited to share key learnings across our internal teams to encourage growth and leadership from within.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow as an organisation, we are dedicated to supporting the personal and professional development of all our employees – from frontline carers to senior leadership. Initiatives like this mentoring series are essential in helping us stay connected with wider industry conversations while continuing to build a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to lead.
