You're invited to join us for an exclusive dinner with our special guest, Debbie Forster MBE. We're delighted to have Debbie join us for a relaxed and informal discussion. It will be a fantastic opportunity to hear from her, ask questions and get together with like-minded peers.

Join us in November at the Mal Maison Quayside, the evening will take shape as follows:

6pm - welcome at the luxuriant Mal Bar with a glass of fizz to start the night

7pm - seats to be taken in our private dining room for a delicious three course meal accompanied with flowing wine and other favourite tipples

We have the room until 10pm so let's enjoy hearing about our guests experiences, challenges and insights over the course of the meal, ask plenty of questions and I'm sure we will be provided with plenty of thoughts for further discussion round the table too.

DRESS CODE: whatever you feel comfortable in.

We hope you can join us!
