Guests enjoyed a lavish, expertly-prepared three-course meal, before the evening’s main highlight took to the stage. A lively performance from celebrated Cornish group ‘The Fisherman’s Friends’ added a heart-warming touch to the evening and had guests clapping along to their sea shanties.
A gathering of excellence
The event was graced by notable attendees from across the WISKA family. Senior management from WISKA joined the celebration, including owners Tanja and Ronald Hoppmann alongside representatives from WISKA subsidiaries in India, China, Iberica, Korea and Brazil.
