em- celebrates birthday

As part of the celebrations on 22 September, it is hosting a black tie birthday extravaganza in association with Platform.

The event will be held at Thornton Manor in the Wirral and the 200 guests include VIP's from across the mortgage industry as well as em- employees. Guests are in fact travelling from as far as East Kilbride and even Spain in order to get their slice of birthday cake.

The evening will be themed around the five senses to tie in with the five years since launch and will feature rooms based around each sense. It won't only be guests receiving treats on the birthday. A charity raffle will be held during the evening with all proceeds going to title sponsor Platform's chosen charity CLIC - the UK's main children's charity. Donations will be put into charity envelopes and the winners of the three fantastic prizes will be drawn blind from the raffle.

Roger Morris, managing director of em-, commented: "We are proud to have made such an impact on the mortgage industry after just five years and are delighted to be celebrating together with many of the people who have supported and helped us along the way. Our fifth birthday event is a landmark for us as not only does it celebrate the successes of the past, but also looks forward to the possibilities and opportunities of the future."
