“Cheryl Hayman and I have worked successfully together for over eight years. I recruited her into George Weston Foods Baking Division as Marketing Director.
Her influence on the GWF Baking business was enormous and she was held in the highest regard by the executive group”
“I have worked with Cheryl for over 10 years now. She is an amazing operator, a person who can manage at board level but also grounded enough to mentor at the junior level.
