RWHA & QEST Annual Luncheon | 30 May 2024

It was wonderful to return to the stunning Guildhall in London for the Royal Warrant Holders Association & QEST Annual Luncheon.

We were delighted to welcome our 2023 Scholars, Emerging Makers and Apprentices to the event, where they were presented with their QEST Certificates by RWHA President, Cav. Philip Contini and QEST Chairman Ian Maclean MBE. They also showcased their work to 600 guests of the RWHA and QEST, before seating for lunch.

During speeches, QEST Scholar Kayo Saito was presented with the QEST Award for Excellence for her contributions to the craft of jewellery making (read more here). This year’s guest speaker was General Sir Gordon Messenger, Constable of the Tower of London, former Vice Chief of the Defence Staff of the Ministry of Defence and Lord High Steward at the Coronation of King Charles III.
