The Business South Summer Lunch has become a tradition that we look forward to with relish ... It started during the pandemic, when such gatherings were permitted and numbers were restricted. Our latest get-together saw leading women from politics, academia, business and conservation gathered at Kimbridge Barn for a delicious lunch. Needless to say the quality of the conversation matched the delightful setting - and we are already looking forward to the next one.
