CT Partners decided to give somthing back to the local community in Thailand after spending some time in Bangkok speaking to key suppliers at their annual conference. The theme of the conference – ‘More than Partners’ – was the perfect opportunity to show the local children in an orphanage their technical ‘know how’ as the group built bicycles for each child. CT Partners has been holding the conference in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Bangkok for a number of years and following news of the floods the firm’s members raised $8,000 to donate to hotel staff to fund those who had been personally affected by the waters. Pictured at the orphanage presenting one of the finished bikes to a Thai child back row from left are Alan Wolf of Bay Travel, with (front) David Jackson, Communico; Cheryl Cook, Etihad; Peter Hession, Mandarin Oriental Hotels and Mandy Dwyer, Main Beach Travel. |
