Dr John Watson CBE was delighted to attend the prestigious British Business Awards attended by over 2000 people at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on April 30.
The biggest business dinner in the UK, it was a phenomenal success and raised over £2 million for the homelessness charity Social Bite co-founded by John’s great friend Josh Littlejohn MBE.
The Watson Foundation is a longstanding supporter of Social Bite.
John was called upon to present awards to successful businesses not forgetting a powerful speech from Sir Bob Geldof – a long time supporter of Social Bite.
Star billing went to guest of honour – Hollywood A-lister the actor and humanitarian George Clooney – who took centre stage for a “fireside chat” with an illuminating look back at his career.
Masterfully compered by Rob Brydon and Elaine C Smith, it was a very special occasion with an important charitable purpose.
