Stefan Bertschi
March 2025Lunch at the Carlton Brasserie was fantastic. Thanks to your lovely brasserie staff for the exceptional service and thanks to the front desk staff for the guided tour through the splendid building. It was the first time visiting since joining IoD membership earlier in the year. I’m proud of being a member of such honourable organisation and the membership offers real value for money. The access to this splendid building and the networking and entertainment opportunities alone justify the investment. I’ll be returning very soon.
