With both the final IPA Roadshow and the 60th Anniversary Reception, we had quite the day and night in London last week.
Thank you to all attendees and to London Roadshow sponsors, Manolete Partners and Marsh, and venue sponsors, Knight Frank.
After the Roadshow, we made the short hop from Knight Frank’s Baker Street HQ to the IET, Savoy Place, to celebrate the IPA’s 60 years in wonderful company and with addresses from Paul Smith, IPA CEO; Kevin Hellard, IPA President; and former Chief Bankruptcy Registrar, Stephen Baister, who gave an entertaining speech on the development of the insolvency profession.
Congratulations to Carrie James, Immediate Past President, on the awarding that evening of the certificate of her 2019/2020 Presidency. This was deferred to the 60th Anniversary Reception in light of earlier Covid restrictions.
