Welcome aboard!
We were thrilled to welcome so many of our staff, friends, and clients to our summer party on the 9th of June 2023. We are very grateful so many people were able to attend, making it such a memorable evening. The event started with a drinks reception at the ‘Belsfield’; a sophisticated and luxurious hotel nestled on the banks of Windermere. As a Cumbria-based business, we thought it fitting to host the occasion in a place very close to our hearts. After an hour or two of Peroni, Prosecco and great conversation, guests made the short walk through the hotel’s manicured gardens down to Bowness pier.
It’s here they boarded the MV Teal, a 142ft ship constructed nearly one hundred years ago. Fortunately, it has undergone its fair share of modernisation, and is equipped with many facilities including toilets and a licensed bar. We then set sail on a two-hour cruise, and guests had the chance to admire the stunning scenery from the many viewing platforms on the boat. For some though, the allure of an open bar below deck proved too difficult to resist!
Then dinner was served, a hearty yet timeless combination of pie and peas. A true northern classic! Afterwards, the drinks continued to flow, and guests took the time to network, connect with old friends and enjoy the serenity of the Lake. Live music from entertainer ‘Chuck Fish’ also contributed to the atmosphere. Accompanied by his guitar he sang all the classics, and even put his own Windermere-themed twist on some of the lyrics.
As the cruise came to an end, drinks were finished, and hands were shaken. After a very enjoyable evening, it was at this point some guests called it a night. For many though, the party continued into the early hours around the bars and pubs of Bowness. All-in-all, it proved a fantastic way to thank our employees for their hard work, our clients for their loyal custom and to celebrate the continued growth of A. Lamb Associates. Until the next time!
