#𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐊: This Women’s Month, we honour the resilience and leadership of the women who move milk - and so much more.
For our 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧, becoming a mother while holding a leadership role was one of her biggest personal and professional challenges, but with support, sounds structures in place and showing up with purpose, she’s learned that asking for help and setting clear priorities isn’t a weakness - it’s a strength.

Women consistently rise to the challenges of the dairy industry with determination, resilience and a deep passion for the work.

Anika is one of many women shaping the future of South African dairy with compassion, clarity, and grit. At Tip Top Milk, we’re proud to walk alongside her and so many others who move the industry forward, every day.
