As another year draws to a close, we look back on the year past. During 2023, Hawkins attended over 70 different conferences, seminars and social gatherings, we welcomed 17 new experts to the business, and we hosted our annual winter receptions in London, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, allowing us to spend time with clients in person.<\/p>

Our annual receptions began in London with our Burning Questions event with guests Nick Sherliker of Charles Taylor and Luke Ayres of Keoghs LLP joining our panel to present an immersive timeline of a multi-disciplinary fire investigation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Hong Kong event was hosted by Regional Director Nico Zurcher.<\/a> As with Dubai, Nico was joined by colleagues including Jessica Ng<\/a>, Dr Chun Chang, and Hawkins experts from the Singapore office.<\/p>

It was a pleasure to speak with so many old faces and meet some new ones over a drink and canapes, especially as in some cases, it was the first time we had seen clients from the region since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The occasion provided an opportunity to introduce guests to the wider team including Dr Sophie Parsons and Forensic Architect Niralee Casson who travelled from the UK.<\/p>
