British private bank Coutts held a by-invite-only cocktail reception in November, to celebrate British expertise and innovation. With it were over 100 guests including British high commissioner Antony Phillipson, who co-hosted the exclusive event at his residence at Eden Hall alongside Coutts Asia chairman Timothy Chia and general manager Michael Blake. Livening up the mood were two outstanding British brands: liquor distributor Diageo, who unveiled the rare John Walker & Sons Private Collection 2014 for the first time in Singapore, and top-end automobile manufacturer Bentley, which presented two of its newest stunners.
