We were delighted to welcome a strong gathering of senior leaders at the 2025 Industry Dinner at the beautiful Painters’ Hall. Among our guests were Sonya Byers, CEO of Women in Transport; Andy Jones and Mike Hansford, Chair Elect and CEO of the Road Surface Treatments Association; Sue Percy, CEO of Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation; and Jean Stevens MBE, Chair of the Skills Centre. We were also joined by Scott Wardrop of Vinci, Paul Kidd of Eurovia, Sharon Nicholls from Berkeley Group, Jacqueline O’Donovan OBE, Jonathan Ring, and many others, together with all the new Liverymen who were gowned at the Court meeting beforehand.

There was time for a convivial stirrup cup after dinner, and our Cellarer’s choices for the evening were much appreciated.
