The Ascot Group are celebrating their 20th anniversary after incredible sustained success.

Initiated by group founder and CEO, Andrew Scott, the group gathered on the Grand Pier along with esteemed guests, bedecked in their finest attire reminiscent of the Peaky Blinders era, to help commemorate this anniversary ‘Roaring Twenties’ style.

This year marks a significant milestone for Weston-super-Mare based marketing and technology group in Somerset, UK.

Tweed suits paired with matching caps, elegant cocktail dresses bedecked with sequins and pearls, and the charm of traditional black-tie attire set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Guests enjoyed a selection of cocktails inspired by the clandestine speakeasies of Chicago and New York, marking the official beginning of the night.

Attendees were treated to a heartfelt welcome speech by Andrew, followed by a delicious three-course dinner.
The evening crescendoed with lively dancing to the tunes of a trad jazz band, Trip For Biscuits, who blended today’s hits with the infectious rhythms of 1920s Dixieland/Charleston style. The dance floor? Absolutely packed.

As the clock struck midnight, some bid adieu to the festivities, while others, in true Roaring Twenties fashion, prolonged the celebration into the early hours amidst the night life of Weston-super-Mare.

Reflecting on the night, Andrew shared: “What a fantastic evening it was, and what a stylish tribute to our 20th anniversary! Achieving two decades in business is no small feat, and it was truly amazing to commemorate the successes and milestones of our journey so far."

"As we look ahead," he continued, "exciting opportunities await us, and our motto of ‘Every Day Better’ rings truer than ever.
“Our evening on the Grand Pier was testament to the remarkable journey we've had, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable. We truly are only just getting started”.
