The other two follow in sequential days. This way 1,800 staff attend covering all departments such as today’s – Barbican, Police, Schools, Surveyors, Built Environment.

In December last year, I was at Grosvenor House’s Great Room as MC and Master of Ceremonies for a corporate dinner with over 1,500 guests. I have
decades of memories of this venue having booked it multiple times, organised events here, been entertained as a guest and acted frequently as a
Toastmaster. There is nowhere like it in London.
