A great evening with colleagues, fellow YBG council members and friends at the annual YBG Guernsey summer ball. #YBG #Guernsey

A week since the YBG Guernsey Summer Ball ✨ A huge thank you to Rebecca Hale for inviting me along with her and the team at Walkers and for the YBG team for hosting a great event!

🌲✨ Reflecting on a magical night to remember - What a night we had at our Enchanted Forest Ball! I think you can agree, our guests were dressed to impress, as they enjoyed sunset drinks on the terrace of Hand Picked Hotels St Pierre Park, followed by a delicious dinner, insightful talk and live music to dance the night away. We'd like to thank our guest speaker of the evening and CEO of Specsavers, John Perkins BSc (Hons) ACA MBA, for his time, and insight into life at Specsavers - It was impressive to hear the remarkable story of a local business that through hard work and determination, conquered the global market. We'd also like to say a big thank you to our sponsors Walkers and Specsavers, for their support of the event, Joys Production Services for the show-stopping decor, JR Photography for capturing the night's magic through photography, the band Underdog for the electric live music, and the team at St Pierre Park for so graciously hosting us for the evening. Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us in what was truly a night of elegance and enjoyment - Here's to the next one! 🥂 #YBG #Networking #SummerBall Rebecca Hale Sophie Bonakdar Mike Fogarty DipPFS Cert CRP Jarrad Knoetze Raphael Chitambira Omolola Botsane Emilia Bianco Lindsey Dean Jamie Bougourd
