The Henries picture gallery is open…

Relive last week’s wonderful industry celebration

The greeting card community made the most of the opportunity to celebrate with their peers, customers and suppliers on Thursday, 5 October, at The Henries 2023 awards event which was superbly hosted by Pippa Evans.

The photo gallery is now live containing all the glorious evidence that a good time was had by all at the mardi gras-themed event which took place on Thursday, 5 October, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

The photo gallery covers the whole event, the Windles pre-reception, the champagne reception, the Higher Or Lower competition, Pippa Evans’ warm-up, and the awards ceremony through to fun shots at the House of Cards’ glitter station, drag queen Ruby Violet’s performance and the dancefloor action.

Here’s just a flavour…
