“A very big thank you to the team who made GQ Heroes such a resounding success. How wonderful it was to meet up with old friends, make new ones and bathe in the wisdom of others in the tranquil yet quirky setting of Soho Farmhouse – a place where it seems anything can happen! It brought people together in a way words can't describe.”
