@theplannerguru had the great honour of being host

@theplannerguru had the great honour of being hosted by Leon Pheiffer and his team at the @eph.group & @monte_de_dios_venue Annual VIP Network Event yesterday afternoon. Leon inspired attendees with a heartfelt presentation taking us through the 26 years of EPH’s history, sharing details of his and his family’s trials and tribulations throughout this time. We were all deeply moved when he spoke about his faith and his relationships with his colleagues, wife and children before delivering an incredible rendition of Nat King Cole’s When I Fall in Love. With MCing by local personality @vanes.mari and entertainment from the likes of commercial rock violinist @scheppel_violin (and Leon of course!) against the backdrop of the beautiful Monte de Dios venue, a fantastic experience was had by all 👏
