The Ladies of Lakeside
This International Women’s Day, we proudly celebrate the incredible women who bring Lakeside Shopping Centre to life.
From the friendly faces greeting you in-store, to the managers leading dynamic retail teams, to the dedicated women behind the scenes keeping our centre running smoothly. These remarkable ladies shape our community every single day. Their dedication, creativity, resilience and leadership inspire not only their colleagues, but everyone who walks through our doors.
At Lakeside, women aren’t just part of the story — they make the story.
Today, we honour their achievements, their ambition, and the lasting impact they have on our shopping centre and beyond. Here’s to strong women, strong communities, and a future full of possibility.
What is International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on 8th March, is a global day recognising the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
First observed in 1911, International Women’s Day has grown into a worldwide movement supported by communities, organisations, and businesses across the globe. It is both a celebration of progress and a call to action — reminding us of the importance of equality, opportunity, and empowerment for women everywhere.
Each year, individuals and organisations take the opportunity to spotlight inspiring women, reflect on how far we’ve come, and consider the work still to be done.
At Lakeside, this day gives us a chance to shine a light on the women who help create the welcoming, vibrant atmosphere our visitors know and love.
The Women Behind the Experience
Whether they are styling the latest fashion trends, serving your morning coffee, managing operations, coordinating events, or ensuring the centre runs seamlessly, the women of Lakeside play an essential role in shaping your experience.
Their impact goes far beyond their job titles. They are mentors, innovators, problem-solvers, leaders, mothers, daughters, friends and role models to the next generation.
