We welcomed guests to the construction industry event of the year: an exclusive summer party set within the magnificent surroundings of Kensington Palace.

Framed by its elegant red-brick façade, classical proportions and beautifully manicured gardens, this historic royal residence - once home to Queen Victoria and more recently Diana the Princess of Wales and Prince William and Catherine - provided a truly distinguished backdrop for an evening of refined celebration.

As the Palace and its grounds were opened exclusively to our guests, attendees enjoyed live music, exquisitely crafted canapés and free-flowing drinks as they mingled with 300 senior leaders from across the UK built environment. Taking place at the height of British summertime, this quintessentially English summer party delivered effortless glamour, meaningful connection and an atmosphere of elegance - an unforgettable evening in one of London's most iconic and storied settings.
