The English Manner

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Happy Chinese New Year to all who celebrate!

Throughout 2026, The English Manner celebrates its 25th anniversary. Last week, invited many of our TEM friends and family from over the last twenty five years to begin our celebrations, at a black tie dinner at Claridges.

To quote the end of William’s speech: “Past and present, each of you in this room has shaped what The English Manner is today. If manners, at their heart, are about kindness, consideration and making others feel at ease, then everyone here proves that we’ve all been practising what we preach all along. Thank you for being part of our story — and here’s to carrying it forward, with grace, good humour and even better friendship for the next twenty-five years.”

Last weekend delivered a keynote address on Day 1 of in London: ‘Mind Your Manners (It Might Just Get You That Job)’. Thank you to all who attended.
