Pride in Food are important words for us at Compass – it’s what we stand for.
Supporting and celebrating our LGBTQ+ community, Pride in Food strives to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone can freely be themselves and maximise their potential with an emphasis on Respect, Equality, Teamwork and Growth.
We work closely with our supply chains, partners and customers to share best practice around supporting the LGBTQ+ community. We have also been a key partner with Pride London by delivering large parts of the hospitality for several years and hope to continue and expand our work together in the future.
Megan Caulkett, Head of Operations for RA and Co-Chair Pride in Food
I couldn’t be prouder to be part of something that means so much to me. Pride in Food has been on a journey over the past few years, and I'm so lucky to be a small part of it.
Having joined Compass as an Apprentice back in 2008, I have had so many opportunities to grow and develop, personally and professionally. When the opportunity arose in 2019 to join Pride in Food, I couldn’t resist.
My personal aim is to continue to strive for equality in our workplace and society, and to do my best to be a role model to people who need support in any way to understand the LGBTQI+ community and feel comfortable talking about difficult matters, without shame or fear.

Let me give you a small insight into my world! I’m an American sitcom fanatic, live event enthusiast and self-proclaimed RuPaul’s Drag Race connoisseur, with a weakness for binge-watching videos on TikTok.
When I joined Compass in August 2022, being part of the Pride in Food network was a natural decision. I wanted to be part of a committee that not only had a voice of change and equality but one of support and togetherness, too.
I hate the thought of anyone being afraid to show who they are in the workplace or ever feeling alone. Know that I am a listening ear and here to support you wherever I can - just drop me a message and let’s kiki over a chai latte!
