Hi everyone

Welcome to the June edition of What's New at DeskDemon

DeskDemon is delighted to invite you to an evening of champagne, canapés and good company at a special PA networking event on Thursday, 5th July in the elegant Marco Pierre White Restaurant at the Chelsea Football Club in Fulham. Places are limited, so please see below or click here to register your interest. And if your boss enjoys football, you can bring him or her along too! If you have already registered, a reminder that the deadline to return your form to us is tomorrow, 20th June. Registering for the event doesn't mean you will automatically get a ticket - we need your forms back please - so we can allocate numbered tickets which you will need to present on the night. We look forward to hearing from you.
