EC Markets participated in Liverpool FC’s International Women’s Day event on 4 March at the AXA Melwood Training Centre, the training ground of Liverpool FC Women.

The event brought together leaders from sport, media, and business for a panel discussion centred around this year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” which explored the importance of mentorship, collaboration, and visible role models in shaping professional journeys.

Representing EC Markets, Laoura Salveta, Head of Brand Partnerships, joined a panel of speakers that included Jenny Beacham, LFC’s CFO, Lisa Houten-Pool, Deputy CEO of Women in Football, and Harriet Prior, presenter at Sky Sports Football.

The discussion focused on how mentorship, community support, and knowledge sharing can help individuals navigate their careers and create opportunities for future generations.

Speaking during the panel, Salveta highlighted the importance of strong support networks and visible role models across industries.

“Mentorship and community support play a fundamental role in shaping careers,” said Salveta. “Opportunities often come from the people who believe in you, guide you, and challenge you to grow. Events like this are important because they create space for those conversations and encourage the next generation to see what is possible.”

The event also highlighted the work of the Liverpool FC Foundation and its community programmes focused on education, opportunity, and social inclusion.

As part of its wider partnership with Liverpool FC, EC Markets continues to support initiatives that encourage collaboration, leadership development, and community engagement.
