Tartan, bagpipes, and wonderful fellowship made Friday's annual CICES Burns Supper in Glasgow truly memorable.

The event took place on 23rd January at the Glasgow Westerwood Hotel and brought people together from across the UK, for this beloved Scottish tradition.

CICES 2025-2026 President Alex Pearsall joined guests for the evening, which included the ceremonial Address to the Haggis, a traditional evening feast and live dancing from the traditional ceilidh band 'Haggis Chasers'.

The event was also supported by our Scottish region chair William Kelly, and regional secretary Valeriya Dobrolyubova.

The CICES annual Burns Supper is a much-anticipated staple in the CICES calendar, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a hearty meal and network with fellow members, sponsors and CICES colleagues.

This year's supper featured a charity raffle, which raised an impressive £1,720 for two worthy causes: The Lighthouse and St John Scotland.

We're grateful to our event sponsors for supporting the event: G2 Survey and BAM Nuttall.
