About this Event

Ian Leigh, MD at Chaophraya & Thaikhun

Ian Springford, Chairman of Apex Hotels & Director at ISA Architecture & Design
Apex Hotels is a collection of nine hotels across the UK, rooted in Scotland and built on the belief that a genuinely warm welcome makes all the difference. The first hotel was opened in Edinburgh's Grassmarket in 1996. Nearly three decades on, Apex is in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Dunblane, London and Bath - each property with its own character, each one unmistakably Apex.

Craig & Kasia Neilson, Co-Founders of Fore Play Crazy Golf & Fayre Play
Craig spent ten years in investment banking before swapping Goldman Sachs for hospitality. Everyone thought they were mad!
He and his wife Kasia built Fore Play Crazy Golf and then Fayre Play on one simple idea - a fairground for grown-ups. Nine competitive funfair games, cocktails with sweets on top, proper food, and plushie ducks that have to be won rather than given.
