The Magic of March: Warmer Days, Fresh Adventures & New Beginnings
Hello, Spring!
As I write this, it’s clear that spring is in the air, and I couldn’t be more excited to head into the mountains with the warmer weather. March is one of my favorite months, as I absolutely love when the seasons shift. There's something magical about the smell of a new season, stepping outside in the mornings, and hearing nature come back to life. It might sound cheesy, but I never get tired of it.
International Women's Day
One of the standout moments this month was celebrating International Women's Day. We hosted an event where the ACAI coffee van came to central London, allowing us to meet as many of you as possible. It was truly amazing to connect with so many of you, and the warm reception we received was inspiring. One of the highlights of my job is meeting our customers in person, and hearing how moved you were by our mission to inspire women to spend more time outdoors made my entire weekend.
Thank you for showing up and being part of the celebration!
The Outdoorsing Club
Meanwhile, in the mountains, our Outdoorsing Club was in full swing, hosting several walks throughout March, all led by our wonderful female mountain leaders. Watching so many of you join in and embrace the outdoors fills me with pride — it’s incredible to see our community coming together to share our passion.
Business Leaders Summit
On a different note, I spent some time in London at the end of the month for business events, and one stark realization hit me: the business world is still overwhelmingly male-dominated. Only 2% of venture-backed businesses are founded or led by women. As a woman who is passionate about empowering others, this statistic has inspired me to take action and do more to help other women build and run businesses.
Led by loads of inspirational speakers including, Simon Arora (Former CEO of B&M), Will Shu (Co-founder and CEO of Deliveroo) and Tom Beahon (Founder and CEO of Castore). Great opportunity to bring together founders and leaders of businesses looking for the next stage in their growth journey.
New Challenges
On a personal note, I’ve also been spending time in my garden, as it’s the start of the vegetable planting season! I love growing a small selection of vegetables in my backyard. While I’m no expert, it brings me so much joy. My mom runs a fully self-sufficient vegetable patch, so I often turn to her for advice, along with a bit of self-education. Last year, I bought Step-By-Step Veg Patch by Lucy Chamberlain, published by the RHS, and I’ve found it incredibly helpful for growing different types of veggies.
I’m excited to watch it all grow!
This month, I’m filled with excitement to get outdoors and explore more new places. One of my goals this year is to visit areas I’ve never been to before, and I can’t wait to share those new routes with you later this month.
With love,
Kasia Bromley, Founder of ACAI
