Dear Mr Conran
4 August 2004
I am writing to ask if you would be able to present the CCB Design Awards for Innovation at this year's conference. We
would be delighted to have such a successful designer as our guest of honour.
The conference takes place on October 14 and 15 at the Riverside Conference Centre. We would very much like you to be
part of the awards ceremony which starts at 10.00 am on the second day.
It would be much appreciated if you could confirm your availability as soon as possible. Do not hesitate to contact me, or my
colleague Sara Hewson, if you require further details.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Andrew McDonald
CCB Conference organiser
