Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the Virgin StartUp & London Venture Capital Network Christmas parties. Both events were fantastically organised, with both attendees and organisers brilliant alike! Big shout out specifically to Sonny, Avi and Vanessa for holding steady for the obligatory photos! As we close out the holiday season on this Christmas Eve, I want to recognise the outstanding progress at Knotted Commerce | Integration Agency this year. Through the tireless efforts of Ady, Tom Brewer, and entire Knotted team, we've achieved remarkable growth and success in our first year. Looking forward to even greater achievements in year two! Warmest wishes, and may everyone have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year, however you choose to celebrate!
