Networking Event & Gala Dinner

We met up with PDA Members and Associate Partners in York on Saturday 14 October 2023 for our annual networking and gala dinner event!

The evening commenced with drinks and then a sumptuous formal dinner at 7pm. After dinner we presented the PDA Apprentice Wallpaper Hanger Awards and celebrated the work of the talented apprentices who made the finals. Then it was time to hit the dance floor and enjoy the music.

The event took place in the beautiful historic city of York at the prestigious Principal Hotel. The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and a short distance from the city centre. Boasting all the modern amenities of a top class hotel set within the grandeur of late Victorian architecture.

Thank you to all who attended, it was good to see you.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for such a nice evening. Carl and I both really enjoyed it.
The music was great, the food was excellent and thank you for making sure it was gluten free. It was nice to meet you all in person too and we had a great time with our table as well.

Thank you so much for a brilliant conference. What a night!
It was amazing.
Thanks again,

We at Tighes would like to thank you for organising yet again another amazing event which as usual went with military precision.
 
We all very much enjoyed ourselves, even me being able to wear that same old suit!

Well done in organising, fab event. I’m sure anyone looking at the pictures will see what fun it was, and want to be there next year!

Thank you all for organising such a great event, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

I was invited to the PDA gala on Saturday evening, it was a pleasure to be part of it and be awarded the CEO recognition and achievement award. Being part of this evening was a special experience as it was a privilege to meet people higher up the ladder in my chosen trade and has motivated me even more to carry on with painting and decorating. Special thanks to Yvonne and Neil for inviting me and to all of the people who made this amazing evening happen. Holly 😊

Congratulations on organising such an amazing event! We had a wonderful evening mingling with fellow decorators and were truly impressed by the emerging talents of tomorrow.😊

Following last year’s success, we’re planning to hold our next National Networking event on Saturday 5 October 2024 at Hilton Liverpool City Centre.
