From the desk of Penelope Alice, Britain’s most fabulous PA: CWT Meetings & Events house warming party

Having worked with Carlson Wagonlit Travel on putting together many a business trip in the past, I was delighted to be invited to the house warming party for the Meetings & Events team’s new office. After my tour around the space, I must say I’m jealous – it makes Mr P’s office look a bit shabby.

The new base has been decked out in CWT Meetings & Events’ updated branding colour scheme with a pink lobby and splashes of green, as well as some funky wallpaper dotted throughout the whole place. It has a dedicated meeting area made that much cooler by private booths complete with TVs, boardrooms and small breakout rooms. Plus, they have a swish canteen area (sponsored by Etihad Airways) with plenty of space to hold events such as this.

Being so close to Brick Lane, our food for the night featured those local favourites, onion bhajis and bagels with fillings such as smoked salmon and cream cheese – my number one weakness when it comes to sandwiches.

It was an absolute pleasure meeting some of the team members and hearing how positive they are about the exciting things coming up for the meetings and events department. Too bad they were all very hush-hush about specific details. The night was rounded off nicely by speeches from Managing Director Ian Cummings and Senior Vice President Floyd Widener, (pictured above) who took great pride in recounting what the company has achieved this year.
