The Benevolent Northern Ball party took place at The Mere Resort in Knutsford, Cheshire, on November 21, 2014. The theme of this year is Double O Heaven to pay homage to James Bond.

A delicious four-course meal, Casino Royal and dancing to a 007 tribute band were preserved for guests. They also enjoyed Bouvet Saumur Brut Rosé as aperitif.

The Benevolent, founded in 1886, is a charity organization which has the mission of helping colleagues from the drinks industry when they need it most.
