Our CEO Mel Close was invited to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Preston on the 17th March 2024, to celebrate International Womens Day.
BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha is a spiritual, volunteer-driven fellowship dedicated to improving society through individual growth by fostering the Hindu values of faith, service and global harmony.
Mel spoke on a panel with a host of other female leaders in the local community and it was a great opportunity to observe the UN’s International Women’s Day with an inspiring programme celebrating and supporting the invaluable role and contributions of women in our world.
Here’s a photo of our Mel on stage speaking about being a female leader in the community, not only as a CEO of DENW, but also as a Preston City Council Councilor.

And a photo of all the panelists, including Mel.
