Festive Winter Drinks

Please join us for the annual South African Chamber of Commerce UK Festive Winter Drinks, at Investec in their newly refurbished offices in the heart of London. This year’s event promises an inspiring and uplifting evening of connection, reflection, and celebration as we close out 2025.

We are thrilled to welcome Ed Jordan as our keynote speaker. A renowned coach, performer, and storyteller, Ed will deliver his powerful presentation, "Walk In Winning", which explores personal resilience and mindset in the face of global uncertainty. Drawing on his South African heritage, Ed will weave together music, history, and storytelling to offer a uniquely moving and motivational experience.

A Look Back and a Look Ahead

Our Chairman & CEO, Dennis Zietsman and Svend Littauer, will share highlights from their first year at the helm. They will also update us on the Chamber’s marketing initiatives and successes throughout 2025, including new partnerships, expanded reach, and the growing impact of our community both in the UK and abroad.

As part of our commitment to community and impact, we are proud to offer our charity and foundation members the opportunity to showcase their work. Dedicated space will be available for them to display banners and materials, and attendees will be encouraged to engage directly with these organisations to learn more about their initiatives and how to support them.  Please email Juliet Rushent if you would like to book a space.

As we gather in a relaxed, festive atmosphere, this is the perfect opportunity to grow your network, share insights, and celebrate the strength and spirit of our community.

We look forward to welcoming you!
