A lovely evening at the Forth Valley Chamber of Commerce Festive Soiree! 🥂🎉

We were having too much fun that we forgot to take a group picture! So in true Forth Valley Chamber style, here is a selfie of the last ones standing at our Sparkle & Fizz Festive Soiree!

Amazing food and the beats were top class thanks to DJ John Pryde!

You can’t beat good vibes and great company, we really are so lucky to have such an amazing Forth Valley Chamber community - a massive thank you to you all!
