Bright Star Ball

PPS were delighted to attend the 4^th annual Bright Star Ball on Saturday 7^th November in support of the Boparan Charitable Trust. The glamorous event was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London featuring a star studded itinerary. 

Guests were treated to a champagne reception followed by a top class three course meal, all before a line-up of top performers including Jack Carroll, Sam Bailey and Tom Jones. Presenter duties for the evening were courtesy of Jack Whitehall, successful comedian and actor and last seen as the face of ITV’s rugby world cup adverts.

The charity has held a number of fund raising events throughout the year and the ball was no exception. Johnnie Gould, the UK’s number one auctioneer took responsibility for running a successful auction on the night. The lots included a South African Surprise, Golfers Delight, Meet and Greet with Amir Khan and an Equipment Pledge which gave the gift of mobility to those in need.

The team at PPS had a great evening and would like to wish everyone involved in next years charity challenges the best of luck, including our very own Operations Director taking on the Great Wall of China.
