An exciting evening awaits at the Business Travel Awards Europe 2026 at the Grosvenor, London. I’m pleased to be attending with my colleague Mike who is a nominee for the European Travel Buyer of the Year award. Good luck, I know the whole team will be cheering you on! #BTAE2026
An amazing occasion, well done to all involved.
Today the Tower of London welcomed the @VCCcadets for the historic Ceremony of the Constable’s Dues.
It's the first time cadets have conducted this ceremony so the Volunteer Cadet Corps have made history during their 125th anniversary year.
🎥 Watch the ceremony highlights.
It’s great to be back in Melbourne, with a couple of days at work and then a few days exploring the city, the Great Ocean Road and other sights around the city and surrounding areas. Loving the view from my apartment and the city vibe here but it’s off to Sydney tomorrow. 🇦🇺 🐨
A privilege to attend the @StephenPerse Senior & Sixth Form carol service at @GreatStMarys in Cambridge today. As well as an enjoyable festive occasion it was a delight to witness the remarkable talents of three choirs, echoing effortlessly but charmingly around the church. 🎄
A special and superb evening at @StPaulsLondon for the annual Evensong and Service of Thanksgiving for members of the Order of the British Empire. Also nice to meet @sally0range in the congregation and speak to other members of the order to hear their inspirational stories.
Very special to attend the #RemembranceSunday parade at the former @RoyalMarines Eastney today. Great to catch up with old friends and colleagues, see @VCCcadets on parade and join my parents in honouring not just the fallen but also our old mate Dan Collins. #WeWillRememberThem
Back up to London today for some PFM Awards judging. Reflecting over a cappuccino (from the marvellous station buffet) on the peace of a country railway station at one end and the vibe of the big smoke at the other. Rather glad I no longer have to do this five days a week!
A beautiful sunset in #Paris this evening from the Montparnasse Tower, ending a superb day of exploring this charming city. Nearing the end of a fantastic week in 🇫🇷 with way too much fine wine and delicious food.

Absolutely superb to grab a wet (brew) with my good mate @HQC_East_RTO whilst I was up in Notts/Leic way on business. It was a good chance to pull up a sandbag/swing the lamp, but moreover congratulate him on his very well deserved MBE a few weeks ago. Top bloke!
Very much thinking about the 7 July attacks in London 20 years ago today. Clearly a horrid day for those involved & the first responders, but we also saw the best of our capital city. Grateful no colleagues were seriously hurt. Thoughts are with those who died & their relatives.

To our new cadets: having been a cadet myself (way back now!) and gone through my own pass out parade, I know how proud you must feel! Tell everyone how proud you are - you’ve earned it.
Remember to always #BeWorthy 💪
BZ to Recruit Troop 2/24 from @PlymouthRMVCC on completing training!
The #PassOutParade was a proud moment, attended by family, & invited guests.
The cadets were paraded, before the @BandsRMVCC Plymouth delivered a fantastic drum display to round off the parade in style 🥁
A great time on Friday in Birmingham at the @BCO_Midlands awards lunch with colleagues from @CambPressAssess, @Overburyplc & @Savills. To top it off we won the 'Fit Out of Workplace' category. National #BCOAwards in Oct but for now my thanks to the amazing 'Project Arden' team🏆

A good final few days in Switzerland, France and Belgium before arriving home yesterday. Over 5k kms, 14 camp sites and way too much food. The continent seems so much smaller now. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐 Good to be home.
After a few good days visiting Italy, with Lake Garda, Lake Como and Milan ticked off its now into Switzerland. But not before heading up into the clouds at Mont Blanc. Off to see some more lakes tomorrow and then a gradual journey back to Blighty. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐
Enjoyed a superb couple of days in Austria visiting Salzburg and Vienna. The military museum there was fascinating, especially to see the car in which Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Yesterday’s stop was in Lake Bled in Slovenia, and Italy beckons today. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐
A superb couple of days on my #EuroRoadTrip travelling through Germany. Interesting visits to Frankfurt, & Nuremberg, then Munich (nowhere near as much drinking compared to my last visit!) and this morning to Neuschwanstein Castle. On the road to Saltzburg for schnitzel now. 🚐
