Thanks, Happy Christmas – and here’s to another fantastic DIB New Year

Frank McKenna says thanks and happy new year... as we take a look back at an eventful 21st anniversary year for DIB.

I wanted to use this final blog of the year to thank all of those who have supported Downtown in Business during this – our twenty-first anniversary year – making it arguably the best that we have ever had.

The DIB team have delivered and been involved in over 100 events over the past twelve months, including parliamentary receptions in Westminster, six gala awards events, four business conferences, and an events programme at the property festival MIPIM in Cannes.

We have another exciting programme lined up for 2025 – and I look forward to welcoming you back to a Downtown event in the New Year.

In the meantime, enjoy your Christmas break – and watch the review of 2024 to remind you of DIBs amazing 21st year.
