Today at Navigation House, the Witherbys team enjoyed a catered themed lunch to celebrate Burns Night. We annually celebrate Robert Burns on 25th January, who is regarded as Scotland’s national poet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Haggis, neeps and tatties was enjoyed with lots of Irn Bru, followed by shortbread.   Robert Burns was born 19 years after Witherbys was founded in 1740. It puts it in perspective how long we as a company have been working within the maritime industry!   You can learn more about Witherbys here: https://lnkd.in/eEwX-jv8   #witherbys #robertburns #burnsnight #maritimepublishing #maritime #nautical #witherbypublishinggroup
