320: Getting Gluten-Free Right: Why It's a Responsibility for Events, Not a Preference
Description
As May—and Food Allergy Awareness and Celiac Disease Awareness Month—wraps up, I'm delighted to bring you a truly impactful conversation with Claire Beach, Catering Director at Azura Events in London. Claire is a passionate advocate for inclusive and sustainable event planning, drawing deeply from her own lived experiences as a gluten-free, neurodivergent attendee. In this candid episode, we explore what it actually means to get gluten-free right at events—and why it's a true responsibility, not a mere preference, for everyone involved in our industry.
Claire and I dive into how communication, education, and empathy are at the heart of providing safe, empowering, and waste-conscious dining experiences for all. Tune in to hear practical strategies her new UK task force is pursuing, plus creative ideas to ensure every guest feels truly welcomed and included. You'll hear the real-life impact—physical, emotional, and professional—of getting it wrong and how we can all do better.
