Soho house, magic and the night we met the King

Hello my lovely VIP

Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? How did we get here so quickly? Are you looking forward to a bit of time with your feet up? Maybe even a trip to the pub? Well I may have something for you…

This week’s Next Chapter conversation:

S14: Ep 5: From Operations Director, Soho House to Founder, Beckford Group of pubs and hotels: Charlie Luxton

What does it really take to create a great pub?

Charlie Luxton had no idea a chance conversation would lead him to a job setting up Soho House - a super-cool private members club in the centre of London that would become a global brand. He also had no idea a chance conversation would lead him to create his own group of pubs and restaurants around Wiltshire and Somerset.

The brilliant Charlie explains in this episode why it’s so important for us all to follow our hearts.

And the night we met the King…

Yes, it’s been quite the week at Flowerpot HQ. I was invited along with my husband Rob Murphy by the actual King to the actual Buckingham Palace to help celebrate regional news.

So, did we have canapés? What did we really discuss? And is this me asking him to come on The Next Chapter?

I will write a longer note and tell you all the details. But it was a magical night I will never forget.

And finally…
