Representatives of the other supporting associate partners, Withy King, Monahans, HSBC and The FD Centre also attended and were equally encouraging of the event.

"What a great start to the day," commented Sara Daw, from the FD Centre, "it's a great opportunity for like-minded business people to meet and get to know each other."
