Last night we were treated to a pre-awards get together at Lumbers Jewellers. Local snooker hero Willie Thorne compered the red carpet event and the Champagne was flowing. The event was a chance to meet the other shortlisted finalists in the local business awards.

We then went straight on to the launch party of ‘The Banker’s Club’ for more free Champagne and canapés! We created the branding, marketing materials and a quirky internal wall graphic for the new city centre bar.

There are some sore heads this morning.
