Portland Senior Manager helps raise £3,000 for Leukaemia Busters

Senior Manager at Portland Business Recovery, Nicola Layland is flying high after another successful year of co-hosting the R3 Southern Regions Women’s Group annual flagship dinner.

The prestigious event, which took place at The Grand Harbour Devere in Southampton, was attended by over 200 insolvency professionals.

The event was in aid of Southampton based charity Leukaemia Busters. Thanks to the auction of a signed t-shirt and raffle, £3,000 was raised on the night, which was the highest amount raised yet.

The night was topped off by an Inspirational talk by Roger Black, which was very well received and universally praised.

Nicola commented; “All in all, the night was a huge success, and I was taken aback by people’s generosity and kindness. Hopefully we will be able to top this year’s record by raising even more next year.”

Here are some of the comments from guests that attended:

“I just wanted to thank you for organising the Dinner at the De Vere Grand Harbour yesterday, which was a great success. The whole event went like clockwork and everyone really enjoyed themselves. I also thought that Roger Black was an excellent speaker. “

“Just to say a big congratulations at your sterling efforts in arranging for a fantastic evening! Best one yet! Everyone had a super time and Roger Black's talk was inspirational. A super job by you guys and all of the hard work paid off.”

“A short note to say well done for the dinner … The food, set up and speaker were excellent”
