We warmly invite you to join us for our 2025 Investor Field Trip.
We are in the planning stages for the visit and further information will be added to this page as it is confirmed. We will continue to keep you up to date with emails as information on accommodation, dining and travel, as well as the locations we’ll visit are updated.
Craigmore will book hotels – guests will be responsible for settling their own hotel accounts. Craigmore will pre book and pay for flights; flight costs will be invoiced before the trip.
Please advise if a seat is required by 30th September 2025.
In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact Eliza Gwynne at eliza.gwynne@craigmore.com.
