Over the past two weeks we've hosted some of our Broker and Carrier partners in London and Manchester for a meal with dual code legends, Jason Robinson, England and British & Irish Lions, and Jonathan Davies, Wales. As team sponsors, the wider Howden group is building up towards the 2025 Qatar Airways Lions Men's Tour. To add our unique touch to the partnership, we decided to create our own DUAL Code Lions Dinners, inspired by the two codes of rugby. The dinners were a great opportunity to host and network with people that are vital to the growth of the business. Relationships are a key driving force at DUAL and it was a great opportunity to build on existing and grow new ones.
