Summer Chairman's Lunch

This year the Summer Chairman’s Lunch is to be held at Lincoln's Inn, London, hosted by our Chairman James Causebrook. The largest and oldest of the four Inns of Court, the historic buildings of Lincoln’s Inn date back to 1490 and are set in 11 acres of beautifully maintained private gardens right in the heart of Central London.

Our guest speaker this year is Robert Llewellyn, best known as the presenter of Fully Charged and former host of Scrapheap Challenge. He has also portrayed Kryten in the BBC science fiction series Red Dwarf since 1988.

Robert is a frequent speaker at science and technology events, where he actively promotes electric vehicles and renewable energy solutions. Through his website and YouTube channel, he provides a platform for discussion on sustainability and the future of energy, engaging audiences in the transition toward cleaner technologies.

This exclusive event offers an opportunity for you to engage with our leadership team, fellow guests and to have an enjoyable day in this historic venue.
