A STAR-studded business breakfast raised nearly £35,000 for charity.

Dragons’ Den presenter Evan Davis and Sir Martin Sorrell, founder of advertising and public relations company WPP, came out in support of Haven House Children’s Hospice’s Orbian Business Breakfast on Thursday, November 23.

Mr Davis and Sir Martin discussed issues like Philip Hammond’s budget at the Woodford Green hospice’s event which raised £34,259.

Mike Palfreman, chief executive of Haven House said: “We are so grateful to Sir Martin Sorrell and Evan Davis for generously supporting this year’s Business Breakfast.

“The breakfast is one of our most exclusive and high-powered corporate events and raised a record amount for our hospice.

“We would also like to thank Orbian for sponsoring the event along with our Patron, Iain Duncan Smith MP and Michael Herst, Trustee of Haven House and Director of Osprey for all of their hard work.”
