There was the usual buzz and energy at the 12th Annual Celebration Lunch on 28 November. You can view all the images on Flickr.
Held at Plaisterers’ Hall in the heart of the City of London. Guests were inspired by both our Keynote Speaker, Baroness Scotland, QC and our Award Winners. Here is a selection of quotes:
