HMS Belfast was relaunched on Wednesday 17th March! Well, the venue facilities were... its not actually off to war or anything.
Absolutely hilarious night last night aboard HMS Belfast: to celebrate the refurbishment of the venue, Prestige hosted a drinks reception, inviting some 350 guests to join us for tours, music, champagne and canapes – and I can honestly say my job has never felt less like work.
Walking over the bridge onto the ship (on a red carpet no less), pipers piped and we were greeted by the Admiral. It was like stepping back in time. Jitter-bug dancers, flaming torches and live music all set the tone and the crowds of people gave off a constant buzz of excitement. It never fails to impress me that you are actually onboard a warship that served in the world wars and the view of the London skyline at night is simply breath-taking.
I only invited a handful of clients as it was not strictly ‘my’ night, but in the end I did not get to speak to a single one of them. The ship was completely packed and I enjoyed the opportunity of speaking to whomever I was rubbing up against. No, it was not that kind of party, but everyone certainly knew each other a little better than before by the time we all departed.
