Foresight Group held its 25th annual winter barbecue party in mid-January with nearly 500 guests enjoying the feast.

As one of the most popular events in the UK shipping community's calendar, the party in south-west London generally offers a variety of Indian and Western cuisines with vegetarian options — and this year was no exception.

Foresight founder Ravi Mehrotra and his family, along with many Foresight officials, welcomed IMO secretary general Kitack Lim and Shell vice president of shipping and maritime Grahaeme Henderson.
