The three industry associations joined forces, as well as receiving support from the Business Visits and Events Partnership (BVEP), for the festive event. It was hosted by Richmond Creative Events and featured a ‘Let’s go to the Hop’ theme based around the 1950/60s eras.
Event technology supplier Luma provided its YrSurface so that guests could create their own name badges.
A number of food stations served up warming treats on the night including American chilli; turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches; and Thai chicken noodle boxes. Ideas Box served winter Pimm’s and Spanish dessert churros from its churros tricycle.
