On Tuesday 29th November the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain organised an exclusive drinks reception and dinner for PA’s and Office Manager Professionals in collaboration with The Kensington Hotel, part of The Doyle Collection, member of the Spanish Chamber. Ms. Esther Lapole, Director of Sales at the hotel and Ms. Elena Arroyo, Sales Executive, were our exceptional hostesses for the evening and warmly welcomed everyone upon arrival.
Everything was set for a marvellous dinner.
On this occasion, we had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from the following companies and institutions: CLH- PS, Banco Santander, BBVA, Brindisa, Cuatrecasas Gonçalvez Pereira, Dragados, European Bank Reconstruction & Development, Garrigues UK, Gómez Acebo y Pombo, Mapfre, Spanish Embassy, and Suez.
The event began with a drinks reception at the Town House, a room that recreates the ambience of a private members’ club, allowing our guests to mingle while enjoying a glass of cava and tasting a selection of canapés. During the drinks reception, attendees had the chance to enjoy a guided tour led by our hosts around the newly refurbished hotel premises.
The menu of this exclusive dinner included a traditional turkey with stuffing presented in modern plating style.
As the evening went along, it was time to move to the dining room, where our guests could enjoy a delicious three-course Christmas-inspired dinner in the charming Library Room, a private space which favoured the relaxed and perfect atmosphere attendees experienced throughout the evening.
In fact, with a capacity for twenty people, the Library Room was the perfect setting for this intimate gathering. The cherry on the top arrived when our guests pulled the traditional Christmas crackers and shared a laugh while trying on the paper hats that are to be found inside.
Our guests did not miss the opportunity to share a laugh after pulling the traditional Christmas crackers.
We would very much like to thank all the Personal/Executive Assistants and Office Managers who joined us on the day. We are also sincerely grateful to our member The Kensington Hotel for welcoming us at this fantastic evening and for kindly hosting this exclusive dinner.
