We are delighted to announce the Annual Lunch will take place on Friday 4 October at The Grand Hotel, Torquay.

Aside from member networking and the opportunity to host colleagues and clients, the Annual Lunch will include the presentation of the CECA South West Young Achiever Awards – celebrating the remarkable achievements of the young women and men who are our rising stars.

The Chair, Phil Ramsden, and Regional Director, Paul Santer, will also be hosting influential industry guests to widen networking opportunities for members.

Our guest speaker will be announced shortly.

We are delighted, once again, to be supporting the Children’s Hospice South West as this year’s charity.
