This week saw the Country Range Group (CRG) come together at Abbey Road Studios for its annual ‘An Evening With’ event to celebrate the work and successes of its members and suppliers in 2023.
Taking place on Thursday 14th December, it was an extra special event due to it being the 10th anniversary of CRG ‘An Evening With’ awards evening. The iconic Abbey Road venue, alongside a stunning meal prepared by the Clink Charity’s Clink Events and entertainment from comedian Ed Gamble and band Boogie Street, ensured the event was a sellout and guests were blown away.
In addition to the awards, a selection of attendees also hit the world-famous recording booth prior to the meal to create their very own rendition of With A Little Help From My Friends. Watch out Taylor Swift!
A total of £4,190 was also raised for the Group’s recently announced charity partner The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation on the night through a raffle where the prizes were a luxury Christmas hamper and four hospitality box tickets to see Liam Gallagher at the O2 Arena.
Country Range Group Chief Executive Martin Ward said; “I honestly didn’t think we would ever surpass last year at St Paul’s but wow – what a venue and what a night. Just being at Abbey Road Studios gave me goosebumps but to be able to enjoy the historic surroundings with friends and be treated to first-rate food and entertainment, it was the perfect way to celebrate 2023 and 10 years of our special ‘An Evening With’ events. Thanks to everyone who attended and congratulations to all the winners.”
