Event Details

Cumbria Crystal, based in Ulverston, is the only producer of LUXURY completely hand-made, English 24% lead-crystal in the UK and one of the leading companies globally. Its aspiration is to produce the highest quality, hand-blown bar and stemware collections in the world exclusively using traditional glass-making techniques. Highly skilled artisans are committed to mastering processes which have hardly changed in the last 2000 years. Craftsmanship is embraced, automation is shunned and the hand-made aesthetic reigns.

Founded by one of the richest and most influential aristocratic families in England with connections to the English Royal family, Cumbria Crystal has accolades including Downton Abbey, British Embassies & Consulates, Bentley Motors and Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Our guest speaker, Christopher Blade, CEO of Cumbria Crystal, will give an insight into how this business rises to the challenges to protect their unique product in a world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.

Refreshments will be provided.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, CIPS Events generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through CIPS Events, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
