My journey continued to Finland, where I had the honour of attending an official audience with President Alexander Stubb, who was delighted to receive a bespoke sknife knife set in his country’s national colours. White reflects Finland’s snowy winters, while blue evokes its countless lakes and expansive skies. The Nordic cross symbolises the country’s ties to its Nordic neighbours.
Swiss Craftsmanship at the French Embassy - at a reception at the French Embassy in Helsinki, we had the pleasure of presenting our sknife knives and cutlery to a distinguished audience.
A Memorable Finale in Helsinki -the Scandinavian tour culminated in an exquisite charity gala dinner at Hotel Kämp, prepared by five CCC chefs in support of „Convoy of Hope“. An unforgettable evening celebrating the unifying power of gastronomy.
A New Chapter for the CCC - in Finland, Mark Flanagan, Head Chef to King Charles III, Head of the Royal Kitchen at Buckingham Palace and long-standing CCC Vice-President, was elected the Club’s new President. We extend our sincere thanks to Christian Garcia for his trust and wish Mark Flanagan every success and fulfilment in his new role.
