Everyone was dressed to impress when the Plymouth Area Business Council (PABC) hosted its Autumn Dinner at The Box Plymouth in November 2022.

With this year’s meeting having a nautical theme, chef Matt Dell created a special – and delicious – themed menu (see below), while entertainment was provided by the Old Gaffers Shanty Crew.
Guests of honour included the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Cllr Sue Dan, and Captain Karen Dalton-Fyfe as the key speaker.
The brilliant Port of Plymouth exhibition area was open during pre-dinner drinks, before guests were piped into the formal dinner by South West bagpiper, Paul Jackman.
The PABC will be holding its 90th Quarterly Meeting on Wednesday 7 December. If you are a PABC member and would like to attend, please either register here or email helen.hart@devonchamber.co.uk
