Merry Christmas from The Directors’ Hub
On Friday, the 6th December, the Directors Hub members met for its 2024 finale at Shelter Hall a lovely 7 kitchen restaurant, to bring an end to the year with drinks, fun and networking. We had over half our members join for what turned out to be a jolly lovely event.
Awards - The afternoon was kicked off with everyone grabbing a beverage and mingling. Sonny, founder of the Directors Hub, read out a small ditty and poem of sorts for hub members, and this included a toast everyone at the hub.
We also announced the winner of the Best jumper / costume award, this went to Jon McGlashan of BubbleLife Ltd with his retro gaming Pacman jumper, a clear winner. Jon was given a lovely bottle of Bolney.
Gifts of Highweald Wine Estate were also given to Robert Carpenter of Management Inspirations for ferrying Sonny around the whole year. Robert was basically Sonny’s chauffeur due to Sonny's online ordering of a car which took a year to arrive.
Paul Dallibar of Gordian Solutions Limited was also given a bottle of Bolney Wine Estate as a big thank you for running the Hurstpierpoint Hub, the first hub that started everything. Paul took over from me to allow me to add more hubs to the region.
Janet Webb of Worthing hub brought a new member into the hub several months ago and Sonny finally gave her the bottle of Gin today as a thank you.
Along with the festivities, we also had Fay Millar craft some special gingerbread creations which saw 50% of them be standard gingerbread men and the other 50% being a little risque, and everyone loved them. There was a lot of laughs all round as members liked this fun side to the hub they had not seen before.
Who said what?
During the course of the year, Sonny had been listening out for the best quotes. These were quotes that made people think, started an in-depth conversation or made the room chuckle. The aim of this game was to see who else had been listening, by asking the members to recall who had said what!
The best 5 highlighted were:
1. Turnover is vanity: profit is sanity & cash flow is reality – Neil 💧 Tomlinson
2. Don’t be Scared, Lean into It – Bruce👨🏻💻 Bignell Bignell
3. Eat the Good Biscuits, Drink the Good Wine – Janet Webb Chartered MCIPD
4. Business is like tennis, it’s just back and forth with tasks – Adam Francis
5. Perfect Imperfection – Helen Guinness
From all of us at The Director’s Hub, we raise our glasses to you, our incredible community.
Merry Christmas!
Founder, Sonny Cutting
