For those just joining us in the wonderful world of Foster Fischer and Simmonds LLP events, multi-tasking isn’t just juggling demands, it’s toggling between WhatsApp groups to keep up with the ever-increasing demands. If you’ve missed their earlier escapades, join the full team from the start in Episode 1: Concrete, carpets and creativity. It’s problem solving on steroids as Emma leads the in-house events team over, under, round and through anything in their path on the final push to ‘go live’ for the Annual New Partner Celebration in Rome.

 

The palm trees are finally on the move, the wayward delegates are being catered for, the car park gets carpeted (twice) and Grace and Dainty are having a ball. But is the ever-helpful Maverick who everyone thinks he is?

For those just joining us in the wonderful world of Foster Fischer and Simmonds LLP events, the elephants have arrived (that’s Grace and Dainty to you), the palm trees are on a slow boat to Naples and the tech team is kicking into high gear. If you’ve missed their earlier escapades, join the full team from the start in Episode 1: Concrete, carpets and creativity. It’s problem solving on steroids as Emma leads the in-house events team over, under, round and through anything in their path on the final push to ‘go live’ for the Annual New Partner Celebration in Rome.

Holograms of palm trees that are still at sea, celebrity avatars for that Oscars vibe and slide-less presentations take centre stage. WhatsApp is abuzz with conversations, complaints behind the scenes and back office queries.
