Our Regional Business Manager Lynsey had the pleasure of attending her first SPAA Annual Dinner in Glasgow last night with P&O Cruises Vice President, Rob Scott, Senior Manager Paul, and Business Manager Andy. It was also the 95th annual dinner for the SPAA. A beautiful evening full of traditions, formality, whisky and haggis. Robert Scott spoke about our exciting partnership with Pride of Scotland and gave away some tickets for the event later this year. P&O Cruises were proud sponsors of the after dinner drinks and entertainment, we hope guests enjoyed themselves into the small hours. It was lovely to see suppliers, colleagues and meet some of our Scottish agents, until next time🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
