Join the Master for an evening of fellowship and friendship at the Automotive Dinner at Grocers’ Hall, home of one of the Great 12 Livery Companies of the City of London, indeed number two in the order of precedence.
Our guest speakers promise a rich and enjoyable perspective on their careers:
With more than 30 years’ experience at Jaguar in Kensington, Liveryman Michael Quinn is the grandson of Sir William Lyons – known as ‘Mr. Jaguar’, the co-founder in 1922 of the Swallow Sidecar Company, which became Jaguar Cars Limited after World War II – therefore his passion for all things Jaguar is unrivalled.
