VIE at Home (previously Richard Branson’s Virgin VIE brand) held their leadership awards and gala dinner at Edinburgh’s Dalmahoy Hotel. VIE is a home selling programme of quality cosmetics and jewelry.

Ros Simmons, the new CEO, who bought out the firm from Branson, gave out numerous awards with some to group managers with turnovers of over £1.5m

A sparkling event that was great fun to cover – as you can see!

Nice to see your pictures in print.

These were from images I took for the Duisdale and Toravaig Hotels on the Isle of Skye – a 4 page spread.

Nice little hotel in south Edinburgh. Shots of rooms, restaurant and front hall.
