On Wednesday 10 October 2018 the very first DH LINKS Events and Hospitality took place at The Imperial Hotel in Bloomsbury, which was hosted by current parents, Mr & Mrs Walton.  

DH LINKS brought together alumnae, current girls and parents on Wednesday 10 October at The Imperial Hotel in Bloomsbury to talk about careers in the event and hospitality industries. The event was very kindly hosted by current parents, Mr & Mrs Walton. Our four key speakers for the evening were; Lucinda Mumford (Baldwin DH 1996), Veryan Palmer (Armstrong DH 2002), Grace Regan (DH 2009) and Tori Boughey (DH 2009). Joining them were a group of current Upper Fifth to Upper Sixth pupils, all with a keen interest in exploring potential careers in these industries. 

Our alumnae kicked off the event with an overview of their careers since leaving Downe House with time for questions from our current girls. After the talks, there was an opportunity for informal networking over drinks, allowing the girls to really quiz the professionals and make valuable connections. 

DH LINKS is extremely grateful to the Walton’s for hosting us, the alumnae for giving us their time and expertise and the girls for participating with enthusiasm and curiosity.
