CECA SOUTH WEST ANNUAL LUNCH AND AWARDS EVENT – FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER 2025
Thank you to all our members and guests that attended the CECA South West Lunch & Awards event at The Grand Hotel, Torquay.
What a great day it was, despite the fact that it was raining (one of those very few occasions for the SW Lunch)!
Thank you also to our guest speaker, Sean Langan, award winning documentary filmmaker and journalist noted for working in war-zones and hostile environments, for sharing his story of being kidnapped and held hostage for 4 months by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
We were also delighted to be supporting Pete’s Dragons as this year’s charity.
With thanks to our 2025 Sponsors:
