A lovely night was had by all at the London Alumnae Drinks Reception in Covent Garden last Thursday evening (20th April), at our annual London get-together for dwellers, workers and commuters in the capital. A change of venue this year and a big thank you to Helen Wood (née Smith, BHS 1989), MD Orveon Global, who generously loaned us her office space for the event, as well as setting up a wonderful London Marathon fundraising beauty shop, which was enjoyed by all!

It was good to see lots of old faces as well and catch up with some of our younger alumnae, who are progressing well in their careers. The evening also provides a great opportunity for alumnae to connect with others in their field and increase their network. An evening of friendship and networking – we look forward to welcoming you to the next one and in the Autumn term we will be hosting a Milton Keynes Drinks Reception in CMK. Full details will be circulated later this term.
