DESPITE a downpour, the weather failed to put a dampener on John Pye & Sons' 40th Anniversary celebrations at Wollaton Hall on Tuesday September 9th (2008).
More than 130 guests attended the event, ranging from clients among retail, recovery, banking, finance and law to auction customers, suppliers, friends and Pyes staff, to enjoy a night of celebration and entertainent to mark the company's 40th year in business.
Guests were treated to a free bar and buffet all night and the Great Hall of Wollaton Hall was transformed with a red carpet, 200 Pyes 40th branded balloons, ambient lighting in the company's colours and specially ordered frames of Pyes historic brochures, auction adverts, press cuttings and company pictures.
A jazz band played to guests from the Minstrels gallery and a casino pit was set up (pictured left) offering games of poker, craps, roulette and blackjack and a magician mingled among guests performing astounding magic tricks.
MD Adam Pye (pictured below with fellow Pyes family members and Directors) thanked guests for their support over the 40 years and added: "The evening has been a tremendous success and will be remembered fondly by many. We now look forward to the next ten years of trading and expansion and to the company's 50th anniversary."
