Equal MeasureS' Vicky Ilankovan with Angela Harnett, Sandrae Lawrence & Andi Oliver at Fortnum & Mason's Awards 2025

“This is a night that will showcase the very best of hospitality, raising funds to support those who have been marginalised within it.

Our community has rallied together to make this a prolific occasion promising exceptional spirits, fantastic cocktails, and an experience that will live on in the memory far after the last lot has been sold and the last drink poured.

We live and breathe hospitality, and we can certainly throw a party – particularly one for such a good cause!”

Vicky Ilankovan, Executive Director of Equal Measures UK
