Not sure what to do on your 40th birthday? Here is a fabulous example of how to throw a party: hire a suite at one of your favourite hotels, invite a small but close group of friends and find a groovy DJ. Like a wedding or a pregnancy, a 40th birthday is an important milestone and well worth the celebration. It’s often seen as a rite of passage: time to reflect on one’s own life and get perhaps a little wiser. But being wiser does not mean giving up the fun. By the time we hit 40 a lot of us have less and less time to party and spend time with our friends, that’s why a good 40th bash gives us a chance to reconnect with all our friends and  perhaps get a bit wilder than our everyday life normally allows.

Here is a few images from this amazing party at the Penthouse of the May Fair hotel where the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves dancing the night away.

I have photographed a fabulous event in mid November that took place at the British Library titled “Extraordinary Entrepreneurs Evening”. This event was celebrating and promoting women in business but was designed to initiate and engage dialogue between 9 great Entrepreneurs: Rachel Elnaugh, founder of Red Letter Days, Karen Hanton, founder of toptable, Kanya King, founder and CEO of the MOBO Awards, Saira Khan, founder of Miamoo, Gita Patel, founder of Stargate Capital, Laura Tenison, founder of JoJo Maman Bébé, Polly Gowers, founder of Everyclick, Natalie Ellis, inventor of Road Refresher, and Karen Darby, founder of SimplySwitch and Call Britannia; and guests that were dining at their table. You can read here, following this link, the event in a little more details: http://www.women-unlimited.co.uk/extraordinary-entrepreneurs-evening-oh-what-a-night/

The Event was organised by a wonderful women Julie Hall that created 2 years ago ‘Women Unlimited’. Read what the press had to say  click HERE.
