The Payments Association’s members and invited guests came together to celebrate Christmas in style on 6 December, as well as getting a unique opportunity to meet the association’s newest Advisory Board members and the new chair of the judges of the PAY360 Awards, Laura McCracken and the new deputy chair of the judges, Mike Chambers.
The event, at The Anthologist in London, involved the exchange of gifts and reminded us that it’s time for valuing, appreciating, and acknowledging each other.
As well as the expected festive cheer, the evening celebrated the retiring members of the Advisory Board, Andrea Dunlop, Huw Davies, Scott Abrahams, Alan King, Jeremy Nicholds and Vikesh Patel.
Mastercard hosted the party and its vice president of digital partners Andrew Johnstone said they were extremely proud to be founding benefactors of The Payments Association and sponsors of this Christmas gathering, enabling connections and fun to be had by all.
Tony Craddock, founder and director general of The Payments Association, also welcomed new board members, including:
“This gathering was important because it reinforces what we stand for as a community,” said Craddock.
So much networking, cocktails, laughter and Christmas cheer created a cracking community Christmas celebration to treasure and remember.

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
