✨ Celebrating Tea Colaianni MBE ✨   Yesterday we had the pleasure of celebrating our Watches of Switzerland Group PLC Non‑Executive Director, Tea Colaianni MBE, as she was formally appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE). A truly well‑deserved honour that recognises her exceptional commitment to driving inclusion across the hospitality, travel, leisure, and retail sectors.   It was a fabulous day marking Tea’s achievement, joined by colleagues and partners who have witnessed first‑hand the incredible impact of her work through her contribution to our Board and WiHTL & Diversity in Retail. And a special moment for us all hearing our Watches of Switzerland Group colleague Megan-Fflur Jones perform beautifully on the harp.   At Watches of Switzerland Group, we are proud to stand alongside Tea as she continues to champion meaningful, lasting change across our industry.   From Tea Colaianni MBE:   “I am incredibly honoured and deeply grateful to have received an MBE for services to inclusion across hospitality, travel, leisure, and retail in the New Year Honours List.   Over the last eight years, the work we do at WiHTL & Diversity in Retail has always been driven by one belief: that talent is everywhere and that real change only happens when we work together.   This recognition is not mine alone. It belongs to everyone who has supported this journey: the thousands who have joined our programmes, committees, boards, events, and initiatives; the mentors, sponsors, partners, and allies who have stood alongside this work; and the incredible WiHTL & DiR team who turn ‘Opportunities for All’ into action every day.   There is still much more to do across the hospitality, travel, leisure, and retail sectors, but today is a moment to pause and say thank you. This recognition is for all of us.”   We are incredibly proud of Tea and grateful for the impact she continues to have across retail. Please join us in celebrating this outstanding and well‑deserved achievement.
