KENT LAW SOCIETY DINNER 2025

Thank you to everyone who attended the Kent Law Society Annual Dinner and Awards on Friday at Champneys Eastwell Manor Hotel & Spa

I had a fantastic evening celebrating Scott Neilson's year, Dr Eunice Shang-Simpson FCIArb, FHEA being elected, listening to the speeches from Richard Atkinson, Barbara Mills KC, Mind in Bexley and East Kent and Africa in the Moot.

Congratulations to all of the award winners and the finalists. You're all incredible.

Thank you to everyone who helped set up the event (Kelly-Anne Grosvenor, Tara Louise Kaby, Ruby Stone, Jay, Eunice, Mary-Joyce Insaidoo, Scott, Jon Pitt and anyone else that I haven't tagged as I'm running out of room!)

The entertainment was my fave! The drumming from One Drum really brought the fun, the magician (Paul Fowler
) blew my mind and the magic mirror provided hours of entertainment. I thought the DJ (Apollo Funk) was brilliant as well!
The centrepieces and floral gifts were made by the very talented Robyn of Robyn's Floral Designs.

Finally, thank you to the sponsors - McBrides Accountants , Financial Advice and Services Ltd (FAS) , Konsileo , 42BR Barristers , The College of Legal Practice , Document Direct | b corp and Chadwick Nott Legal Recruitment . Without you this event and the work that we do at the society would not be possible We appreciate you!

Steevi Henderson, Hon. Secretary, Kent Law Society
