Levelling up careers: International Women’s Day 2026 at Parkdean
International Women’s Day 2026 has come and gone, and we wanted to take a moment to shout about the impact of our Women in Leadership programme by spotlighting two of our park managers.
Women in Leadership at Parkdean Resorts
Tilly, General Manager at Withernsea Sands, shared how the programme has strengthened her communication skills, boosted her confidence, and deepened her understanding of how to lead and get the best from her team. It has given her a clearer voice and greater insight into navigating leadership in an ever-changing business environment.
On the programme, Tilly said:
“The Women in Leadership programme has had a significant impact on my development as a General Manager. It has strengthened my communication skills and helped me better understand how to get the most out of the team I lead and coach. The programme has given me a clearer voice, increased confidence and greater insight into how to navigate and lead in an ever‑changing business world.
What I’ve enjoyed most is the opportunity to network with such a diverse group of women from different backgrounds, roles, perspectives, and levels of experience. Connecting with others in this way has been both inspiring and empowering. I’ve also valued being part of a group that is actively platforming and championing positive change within Parkdean Resorts…especially around diversity, inclusion, and support for colleagues whose working lives are shaped by family and home responsibilities. It’s rewarding to contribute to conversations that help influence these evolving dynamics.”
Dominika, Complex Manager at Pendine Sands, highlighted the power of connection and networking through the programme. She valued meeting inspiring women across the business, hearing their journeys, and building meaningful connections. Being part of conversations that champion diversity, inclusion, and support for colleagues whose working lives are shaped by family and home responsibilities has been especially rewarding.

“The Women in Leadership programme has been a fantastic experience, particularly from a networking perspective.
Meeting so many inspiring women across the business, hearing their journeys, and building those connections has been incredibly valuable and motivating.
The importance of the programme is: Through our Women in Leadership programme with WiHTL, and as a headline partner at the WiHTL Summit, we’re investing in emerging female talent, supporting our mission to increase their representation in senior roles.”
Here’s to continuing to uplift, support, and champion women every day
Programmes like this create space for growth, collaboration, and empowerment, and play a key role in driving positive change across our business.
