Celebrating 10 years of the AIEA at our summer event and members meeting. Huge shoutout to the incredible team at Stanbrook Abbey who host the most wonderful garden party for us last night. Longer LinkedIn post to follow but suffice to say there are many people to thank for making this happen! You are all amazing and very much appreciated ๐ฅฐ

It appears I am completing another tour around the sun on Monday (is it just me, or are these birthdays coming round faster and faster these days? ๐).
I'm using this one to shamelessly plug Aaron Edwards' Kilimanjaro adventure. ๐๏ธ He has one week left of fundraising, and it would make my birthday perfect if he could reach his goal โ so if you're able and willing, please donate here: ๐ https://dig-deep.enthuse.com/pf/aaron-edwards
He's climbing for Dig Deep, a brilliant charity bringing clean water and sanitation to Bomet County in Kenya, where two out of three people still don't have access to either. He's already raised ยฃ2,115 but has ยฃ875 still to go โ and just seven days to do it.
My birthday wish? A donation, however small, to help him over the line. It would make my day complete! ๐
Mount Kilimanjaro 2026
I am taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and the world's highest freestanding mountain. I am doing so to support Dig Deep - an award-winning international deve

A little slice of luxury ๐ฅ
Next stop on our venue road trip ๐๐คชwas Woking, a few minute walk from the station and you are met with the warmest welcome.โบ๏ธ
This hotel is spread over 22 floors and has had some much thought put into every details.๐บ
From the ambient and inviting glow lounge, to the stunning and super comfortable bedrooms.
Then thereโs the meeting spaces over two floors with so many different options for corporate events.
The Oxbo restaurant is a jewel in the crown food and service where spot on! Plus views to die for!๐ฅฐ๐ฅ
The sky bar is a perfect place to slink off for a night cap or to host a drinks reception.๐
So many possibilities, but what made this property sing was the people every single staff member went above and beyond whether it was opening the door as they could see your hands were filled with luggage.
Bringing your favourite wine from the other bar so you could enjoy!
Thank you to the incredible Bronwyn and her equally amazing team!
Two more stunning properties to share with our clients!
If you want a slice of the luxury but donโt want those extortionate London prices then give us a shout and we can inspire you for your next event!

Letโs put Hilton Wembley Park on pitch!๐คฉโฝ๏ธ๐
This week as been all about refreshing our knowledge and the wonderful Tracy Colley whisked us off around the London area to learn about 2 fabulous Hilton properties, the first stop was Wembley.
My first thought of a hotel in Wembley was this was a purpose built hotel for the stadium and arena.
How wrong was I!๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ฅฐ
Surrounded by the vibrant Wembley Park with so many shops and outlets, the very cool Boxpark, plus the stadium and arena on the doorstep this makes for an unforgettable corporate venue!
So many iconic sporting teams, superstars have walked through the doors thereโs memorabilia lining the walls as you enter!
The hotel boasts great social and dining options including the rooftop Sky bar, the options are endless.๐ฅ
The Ballroom is stunning with ooodles of outdoor terrace space, endless foyer space and great breakout room options!
If you want a London venue but out of the hustle and bustle of the city 5 stops from ๐London Kings Cross, this is your perfect option close enough to Heathrow.
Also a massive shout out to the incredible team and Abigail Middleton and Marie such a warm welcome and we were so well looked after so thank you!
If this has kick started your interest then get in touch!

Unashamedly plugging Aaron's Kilimanjaro climb! If you're able to support him and the Dig Deep charity we'd really appreciate it.
Aaron is into his last few days of sponsorship window now. Training has gone well and the excitement is building!
Please and thank you!

Have you ever gone to turn on the tap and found nothing there? Probably not. Most of us don't give clean water a second thought. It's just... there. Literally on tap.
For millions of people in Kenya, it really isn't. ๐ง Waterborne disease is one of the leading killers of children under five. And beyond the immediate health crisis, the knock-on effects are devastating with whole communities held back by something we take entirely for granted.
This summer our son is climbing Kilimanjaro ๐๏ธ to raise money for Dig Deep (Africa), a brilliant charity working to bring clean water and proper sanitation to some of Kenya's most underserved communities. He's had some amazing support already, (thank you!) but with just a month to go, he's doing another push for donations.
If you're able to support, no matter how big or small, please consider sponsoring him. If donating isn't possible right now, please consider sharing this post to your networks - we'd really appreciate it.
