This year’s Warehouse Business Breakfast Club Christmas Special was an event to remember.Held at Lynn’s WhataHoot distillery due to the recent kitchen fire at The Warehouse Taproom Bar and Restaurant in Setchey, the festive gathering brought together businesses from across Lynn and Norfolk for a morning of connection, inspiration and Christmas cheer.West Norfolk Mayor Paul Bland was welcomed as a special guest who joined the networking gathering.
Spokesperson Amanda Waterfield said the mayor’s presence added a touch of prestige to the event and he enthusiastically judged the event’s Christmas Jumper Competition.
