Dear Members,

With the seemingly unrelenting General Election coverage recently, you may find yourselves in need of some relief, and we are pleased to be able to provide that in the form of some great events and prominent guest speakers in the next few weeks: the second edition of From Scratch to Success: Business Stories on 3 June, our Annual Legal Lunch on 24 June with the Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC MP as guest speaker, a Breakfast with Nicolas Petrovic, CEO of Eurostar on 19 June, Dîner des Chefs at Club Gascon with Chef Pascal Aussignac on 22 June, our Annual General Meeting on 25 June, our much anticipated Annual Gala Dinner with Carolyn Mc Call OBE, CEO of easyJet as guest speaker on 2 July and last but not least, the Summer Champagne Reception on 7 July. All these events promise to be inspirational and entertaining!

Furthermore, the new issue of INFO focusing on the New Workplace is now available online. Enjoy the reading!

Finally, following last month’s makeover, we are pleased to introduce a new section in this month’s newsletter: 'Looking to meet'. This ’introduction bureau’ allows our Business Consultancy department to showcase some of the companies they are working with, which may be of interest to members as potential business partners.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Best regards,
Florence Gomez,
Managing Director
