2014 Our Chief Executive visits No 10 Downing Street

6th March 2014

The Prime Minister invited the Tesco Mum of the Year winners, including our Chief Executive, Jane Plumb, to a reception to celebrate inspirational women, held to mark International Women’s Day on 8 March 2014. 150 women from a range of backgrounds, including business, charity, government and creative industries were invited.

Both David and Samantha Cameron took the time to congratulate the winners and pose for photos with them. Samantha Cameron said: “It is wonderful to have the Tesco Mums of the Year here this evening. The work that they do is incredible.”

Jane said, “Its was great to have a brief conversation with the Prime Minister, both to thank him for his involvement and support over the years, and to give him a quick update of the current situation.  He listened, made a couple of suggestions and said his team would be in touch. It was good to see him again after all these years.”
