One of south Liverpool's most stylish restaurants, Sakara hosted its first networking event on Monday, November 16 for local business women. The event proved hugely successful and by the end of the evening, it was standing room only. Guests enjoyed champagne and canapes before being treated to reflexology treatments and manicures.

The stunning new wing of the Hope Street Hotel was the venue for a David M. Robinson Panerai client event with a difference. The event was the first opportunity for clients to see the Panerai collection that was launched in Geneva in January. The watches included pieces that showcase the brand new 1950 Manifattura movement, an exclusive in-house movement from the watchmakers. The splendid room at the top of the new wing of the Hope Street Hotel could not fail to wow the guests as we watched the Liverpool skyline develop a most magnificent sunset from a wonderful vantage point. Champagne and sumptuous canapés whilst perusing some of the most collectable watches in the world, coupled with showcases of fine diamonds, was certainly a most enjoyable way to spend and evening of luxury and decadence.
