Cheval Life

We recently held the Cheval Residences Long Service Awards at Cheval Hyde Park Gate, an annual celebration recognising long standing colleagues who have spent 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years with the company. The remarkable dedication of our colleagues called for an afternoon of well-deserved festivity with delicious canapés, Cheval recognition pins, a Certificate of Appreciation and even a glass or two of bubbles!
