Business Luncheon 2024: Review

We welcomed UKHA members from across the UK for the London & SE annual business luncheon at The Pan Pacific on 27th September. This was a highly popular and sold out event!

Event Review

The whole afternoon was amazing, with UKHA members catching up with peers and suppliers, stunning food and a hugely entertaining speaker. UKHA member KK Prabakaran, Hotel manager at the Wellesley, Knightsbridge summed things up perfectly!

I am delighted to share my thoughts on our recent Business Luncheon, which was attended by 240 members and guests. The event was impeccably organised and flowed seamlessly from start to finish, a true testament to the passionate efforts of the entire UKHA committee. One of the highlights of the evening was our guest speaker, who delivered an outstanding presentation. Without a doubt, they ranked among the best speakers we have ever had the pleasure of watching. It was always a pleasure to reconnect with familiar faces while also forming new relationships. The event provided an ideal space for more informal discussions, allowing attendees to share their experiences and insights in a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, the day left me feeling more connected to the UKHA community, and I'm grateful for the chance to be part of such an inspiring occasion. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this event a success. I look forward to our future UKHA events.

Speaker: Martin Roberts from 'Homes Under the Hammer'

Our speaker at the luncheon was Martin Roberts, one of the UK’s more respected Property, Travel and Lifestyle TV presenters and journalists.

For over 16 years he has presented the popular weekday property auction show “Homes under the Hammer” on BBC1, now in its 23rd series. He has also regularly appeared on BBC Radio, ITV, CNN and Sky.

Martin Roberts delighted the room on a variety of subjects ranging from up to the minute property market analysis to humorous ‘behind the scenes’ anecdotes.
