Looking back, 2023 was a year of milestones and growth. Our certification as a B Corp solidified our dedication to balancing profit with purpose, while Blacklock staples like Wine on Tap and partnerships with ethical suppliers reminds us of our commitment to doing the right thing.

Our team’s voices — championed by our B Keepers — drives key improvements, from creating more inclusive workplaces to introducing innovative practices that benefit all. Our Chop Life Survey provides valuable insights, helping us refine how we care for our team’s well-being. And through initiating our partnership with Only A Pavement Away, we deepened our connection with the communities we serve, further embodying our ethos of making a positive impact.

As we reflect on these achievements, we remain energised for the journey ahead. 2024 is already a year of action, building on the foundations of last year’s successes. Whether it’s continuing to reduce waste, enhancing career development opportunities, or finding new ways to make a difference, our ambitions remind bold, and our vision clear.
