On Monday 1st July 2024, a select group of Walpole members were invited to join Michael Ward, Chairman of Walpole, and Helen Brocklebank, Walpole Chief Executive, for our annual Chair & CEO Dinner. Hosted at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, London, guests included some of the most notable luxury leaders in Britain today from a selection of the country's most powerful high-end brands.
Following a chance to catch up over a glass (or two) of Gusbourne sparking wine at the welcome reception, guests made their way to their tables – decorated with beautiful blue arrangements by Wildabout Flowers – in the glittering Ballroom for an evening of lively discussion and exceptional cuisine in glorious surroundings. After brief speeches looking forward to the year ahead by Ward and Brocklebank, the night's wine offering was introduced by Gusbourne CEO, Jonathan White before dinner commenced.
Our thanks to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, Wildabout, Gusbourne, WOLF, Ettinger, Charbonnel et Walker and Downey for helping to create such a sparkling evening.
