10th Anniversary Celebrations

July 6, 2026

We are delighted to mark Phil and Craig’s 10 years of directorship and 45 years of Wincer Kievenaar — a significant milestone we are proud to share with those who have helped us reach this point.

On Thursday 2nd July, we held an anniversary celebration at Nedging Hall with clients, past clients, contractors, associates, colleagues and friends. We are delighted to be marking Philip Branton and Craig Western’s 10 years of directorship, alongside 45 years of Wincer Kievenaar as a business – a significant milestone we are proud to share with those who have helped us reach where we are today.

We are very grateful to everyone who helped make the occasion so special. We were especially fortunate to enjoy beautiful sunshine and a refreshing breeze in the stunning surroundings of Nedging Hall. Drinks and canapés, beautifully catered by Bay & Fig, were served throughout the afternoon, providing a wonderful opportunity to catch up with everyone in such a memorable setting, while being serenaded by Adam Thomas and his fantastic acoustic set, which provided the perfect soundtrack to the afternoon.

After our guests departed, the whole WK team had the opportunity to relax and unwind, enjoying a BBQ and a few drinks, and staying overnight at the impressive Nedging Hall.

We made the most of the swimming pool and spent time playing games in the garden, enjoying the chance to switch off together in such beautiful surroundings.

It was our way of saying thank you to the team for everything they do – and have continued to do – to keep the business running day to day.

We have attached a selection of photographs captured by Farlie Photography from the afternoon, which perfectly reflect exactly what we wanted to capture.  To view the gallery, please click here.

If you didn’t get the chance to donate on the day but would still like to, you can do so via the link below.

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our upcoming charity walk across the Kent Downs this October in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society:
