Young Coachmakers’ Connect evening

On a crisp spring evening, the historic walls of the Old Bank of England in the heart of London echoed with laughter, conversation, and the clinking of glasses as young Coachmakers and past award winners came together for an unforgettable social event. The Coachmakers Connect evening was the first of its kind following a long hiatus during COVID.

The event, which took place on Sunday 24th March, saw around 20 Coachmakers and past award winners in attendance. Throughout the night, attendees had the opportunity to connect with fellow Coachmakers, sharing stories of their journeys within the industry and forging new connections that would undoubtedly spark future collaborations and friendships. From seasoned veterans to bright young talents, each guest brought their own unique perspective and passion for their craft, enriching the atmosphere with their shared enthusiasm and experiences.

Organized by the trio of Freeman Ellie Bacon, Steward David Landon Cole, and Freeman Patryk Nelkowski, the evening was a celebration of tradition, talent, and the enduring spirit of camaraderie within our esteemed community. We hope this is the first of many Coachmakers Connect events to come.

A special and well-deserved thank you to the organising team and in particular Steward David Landon Cole who provided the catering.
