Celebrating Success Event!
On 2nd March 2023, the IIN hosted a ‘Celebrating Success’ Event, intended to celebrate and congratulate CII and PFS members in the region who achieved a qualification during 2022.The event took place at a local wine bar in Norwich ‘The Wallow’ in their private upstairs space, with complimentary food and drinks, and a chance to network and celebrate one another’s qualification successes.
This was the first event of its kind, and with 40 guests in attendance, council members appreciated the opportunity to meet with our guests and hear about their achievements. We hope all guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and we look forward to welcoming you back to another IIN event in the near future.
