The event will be hosted by Rugby AM’s Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Alex Simmons and St Gemma’s Hospice is the charity partner for the lunch. Networking will start at 12pm before sitting down for lunch at 12.30pm. The formal part of the afternoon will be finished by 3pm.
Tickets are £65 each or £600 for a table of 10.
