As we get ready to welcome the New Year I've been having a rather nostalgic look back at 2013.

It's been a fabulous year for Benessamy thanks to our amazing clients, lovely suppliers & so many wonderful opportunities! Here are a few images which capture some of the highlights of Benessamy's 2013.

Our office is closed until 6th January and I'm already looking forward to the wonderful client weddings and events I'm going to be working on in 2014. So, here's to 2014! Wishing you all a love filled Happy and Prosperous New Year.
I'll leave you with a few more images of this year in this Flipagram Benessamy 2013 video set to Bastille's big hit of 2013, Pompeii. Enjoy!
