Employees from across the British Engines Group were invited, with their partners, to step back in time to 1922 at the Sage Gateshead overlooking Newcastle’s Quayside.

Steve hosted the event, which took place on Saturday 3rd September. It featured performances from soul singer Beverley Knight MBE and British R&B singer Lemar, as well as the Strictly Smokin’ Big Band.

A number of prizes were raffled to over 900 guests to raise money for Tyneside and Northumberland Mind, a local charity delivering mental health services across the region.

Guests at the event raised £5,560 for the charity by purchasing tickets to win prizes including a holiday worth £2,500.

Alongside the view of the Tyne Bridge built in 1928, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge was lit in British Engines red, a sight that could be seen from inside of the venue providing the perfect backdrop for the event.

Steve would like to say thank you to Jodie Beal – British Engines Group Marketing Manager and also Jacqui & Ken Wallace from Tainted
