Excellent B4 Platinum Dinner at Macdonald Randolph Hotel

Dominic commented. “It was fantastic for me to speak to the Oxfordshire business community and set out our goals at Blenheim Palace. The feedback I’ve had this evening has been fantastic so thank you to Richard and the B4 team for inviting me to speak.”

B4’s Richard Rosser added. “The buzz in the room tonight was incredible. With a great mix of business leaders from across Oxfordshire, superb service, food and wine provided by our excellent hosts, Macdonald Randolph Hotel, and an excellent speaker in Dominic Hare who had our guests transfixed with every word, it really was a powerful evening for all who attended. Thank you to Gurval and his highly efficient team for making us so welcome. On a sad note, we were deeply saddened to hear of Michael’s passing in September. Not only was Michael one of our most loyal supporters, he was also a gentleman and a friend. He will be sadly missed by all who worked with him and knew him as a kind, generous and charming man. This evening was the perfect opportunity to remember Michael.”

Following Richard’s welcome, Gurval was invited to say a few words on behalf of the hosts and formally introduce himself to the Oxfordshire business community. “It was a wonderful occasion, so much warmth in the room and a fascinating blend of guests which gave me the perfect start to my new role here at the Randolph.”
