This week’s GFSB Wellness Series event on peri/menopause at work brought together Gibraltar’s business community to discuss support strategies for women experiencing this transition. UK data shows that 1 in 10 women leave work due to menopause symptoms, and while no local figures are available, the situation reflects similar challenges in Gibraltar.
Why does this matter?
With 3.5 million women over 50 in the UK workforce, addressing menopause in the workplace is crucial for retention and wellbeing (source: CIPD). These insights help Gibraltar’s businesses create more inclusive environments.
Who were the experts?
We especially thank the expert speakers for sharing their time and deep knowledge of peri/menopause with us.
Dr. Reena Verdi: Managing peri/menopause
Suzi Wine: Physical strength during peri/menopause
MJ Feeke: Nutrition and lifestyle support
Thanks too to Wellness Series sponsors, Infinity Group and Freska, for the lovely lunch. We are busy working on the next event in the series – keep your eyes on our socials and save the 21st November in your calendar.

Clocked out in August? Good for you. Thrive EDIT Editor David Revagliatte rounds up the Gibraltar business stories worth clocking back into. August is supposed to be the month when Gibraltar collectively eases off the accelerator. Judging by the news cycle, nobody told 2026. The first full month of life under the new Treaty arrangements brought a mixture of early optimism and very real teething problems for businesses. New employment rules landed, a pensions deadline crept closer, one of Gibraltar's most important airlines changed hands and a major local bank announced job cuts.
