For ‘functions and receptions held in the Bank’ – please find below a table showing the number of bottles of beer, wine and spirits purchased through our suppliers for Bank functions at our Threadneedle Street and Moorgate buildings for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the amount spent on each.  Often we plan ahead looking at events in the forthcoming year and therefore the amounts shown are for what is purchased in that year not necessarily consumed.  The functions held would include a range of formal and informal events such as the Governors and Directors end of year drinks as mentioned above, employee network receptions and charitable events amongst others.
