Iain Murphy and Ollie Currie at Delhi airport on their way back from a seven-day trip to India, which was sponsored and organised by Mr Dave Ladhar of the Ladhar Group.

They are pictured with Ian Walker of Walter Thompson Construction Limited and Michael Ladhar from the Ladhar Group.  Of particular importance was a visit to The Golden Temple in Amritsar, the stunning and most well-known Gurdwara in India.

For many in the group this was their first visit to India and several days were spent in the Punjab before travelling to Delhi for the remainder of the trip.  The colours, the commotion and, most importantly, the culture of India were brought vividly to life in a trip that will remain a memory highlight for years to come
