Milestones and anniversaries
8 articles of hers are about milestones and anniversaries, from 2022 to 2026.
In her words
Recently, I hosted a private milestone dinner in London for Hogan Lovells and Vodafone, celebrating a 10-year working partnership.
Ropes & Gray asked me to design a wine experience to mark 15 years of business in the UK, alongside the opening of new offices in Paris and Milan.
This wasn’t about showcasing prestige for its own sake; it was about telling the firm’s story through the glass.
2010 is, of course, when they first came to London, and while that might sound simple, these details matter.
Hambledon recently celebrated 70 years and the UK’s oldest commercial vineyard.
Established in 1952 by Major-General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, Hambledon Vineyard is a small family-run vineyard on a very big mission: to create the Finest English Fizz.
