Breakfast in a sunny setting


Seventy Five PAs and invited guests accepted an invitation for breakfast with APA on Friday morning in central London. Hosts, De Vere Venues; APA’s partner venues organisation, provided an exceptional breakfast, a friendly and high quality environment and a gracious welcome for members and potential-members alike.

Patrick McCaffrey, De Vere’s Director of Sales for its West One and Portland Place venues opened the proceedings with a brief introduction; referring to the need for PAs to think now about Christmas event booking and the offering available from his Company in their outstanding location; less than 400m from Oxford Circus. He introduced Gareth Osborne, who spoke about APA’s recent successes, its policy to engage with the new Government and forthcoming training programmes. Finally Andrew Greenwood, from APA Health Insurance Partners WPA, spoke about advantageous family and business healthcare packages for APA members.

Gareth Osborne said, “This was an excellent opportunity for PAs to meet and share professional experiences and current thinking. In a week when the political landscape has created such a radical and seemingly harmonious spirit of cooperation, likely economic outcomes were also on the menu. I hope this style of breakfast meeting for PAs will be repeated in coming months around the country.”

This sounds a real success. I would love to attend a similar event and have the opportunity to meet other APA members.
