The Annual Sovereign Strategy Autumn Reception was held on October 10th at the Royal Society for the Arts, with broadcaster and Question Time host David Dimbleby in attendance.

Executive Chairman Alan Donnelly spoke about the launch of Sovereign Partners China, Sovereign Strategy’s new joint venture partnership with Green Atlantic Partners, about the political environment and about Sovereign Strategy’s plans to get more involved in the stewardship of the public affairs industry.

David Dimbleby spoke about the election fever that had gripped the country and gave the specially-invited audience of politicians, businessmen and representatives of the media the benefit of his thoughts on a gripping month in party politics. He then spoke about the charity set up in memory of his father, with the aim of improving the care of cancer victims. The charity has raised £10m in the 40 years since it was set-up.

Earlier in the evening, Alan had presented David with a cheque for £2000 as a donation to the charity.
