12th Celebration Lunch had that “WOW” factor

9 December, 2014 By WiC

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:

Such a buzzy atmosphere and tables full of great people.
Jules Chappell OBE, Director, Hawthorn

What a wonderful celebration. It was a privilege to be included … an inspiring event.
Michael Cole-Fontayn, Chairman EMEA BNYMellon

The breadth and depth of inspiring women and the energy in the room was exceptional. WOW!
Sheriff Fiona Adler, City of London Corporation

… what an amazing day it was! I felt very fortunate to have been invited by Carole Plant to attend and sit amongst such awe-inspiring people. The speeches were incredibly moving and your hosting was fantastic.
Richard Cronin, Chief Executive, Balcroft

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you and your team for another superb lunch on Friday.  It was truly inspiring.
Amanda Illing, Chief Executive, Hardwicke

What a stellar cast for Friday’s awards ceremony. It was an uplifting experience in every way. Brilliant presentations and comparing, fascinating conversations and a delicious meal. It was a privilege to be celebrating such phenomenal talent.
Debby Ousted CBE, Master Mercer

I thoroughly enjoyed the lunch. It was very inspiring and reflects what the ladies in my firm have been doing for many years – we’ve always supported one another Anything which spreads the word is great. I admire what you have done as its very well presented,  positive and empowering. That’s why I joined! [as a Champion]
Emma Pitcher, Partner, Boult Wade Tennant
