Any Other Business – 06/03
MEMBERS of the newly launched Golden Network, a new community aimed at the finance industry, galvanised their support last night when it put on a Hennessy Cognac tasting at McQueen in Shoreditch. City goers from the likes of Santander, RBS and JP Morgan and others popped along to taste the distiller’s finest with Moët brand manager Max Helm. The Capitalist learned lots; that 80 per cent of the world’s Cognac is consumed with mixers, what it’s like to work for the Korean wealth fund (hard to turn on your computer with a Korean keyboard apparently) and that networking is a lot more fun when there’s cognac involved.
