We’re delighted to celebrate Melissa Wallbank’s inclusion in the 2025 Women to Watch in Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail Index published by WiHTL & Diversity in Retail and TheMBSGroup.

Highlighting the impact of over 100 senior women leaders, the Index showcases the range of roles and career pathways that have shaped their journeys. As we applaud those who have paved the way for progress, it also serves as inspiration for those at the earlier stages of their careers.

Melissa’s professional journey has played a key role in driving Wilson Vale’s sustained growth and continued success. In her Women to Watch profile, she reflects on her career to date and shares her thoughts on the future of the industry.

Tea Colaianni, Founder and Chair, WiHTL & Diversity in Retail said “It’s really exciting to launch our sixth 2025 Women to Watch in Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail Index in partnership with The MBS Group. With EDI in the spotlight this year, it is more important than ever that we continue to acknowledge and celebrate the many truly inspirational examples of women blazing a trail in their field. They are a huge inspiration for all the women coming after them who will join, progress and lead our industry in the future. Congratulations to all of the brilliant women role models featured in the 2025 Index!”
