The celebration and networking event returns to the venue after the inaugural IQ Fellows Lunch and Student Awards were held there in 2018. It hosts senior industry figures, and among the guests will be award-winning students from the University of Derby’s Centre for Mineral Products.
IQ chief executive officer James Thorne said: “The IQ Fellows Lunch and Student Awards is an exclusive opportunity for senior industry figures to get together and raise a glass to the industry. It is also a great environment to celebrate the outstanding performances of students from the University of Derby Centre for Mineral Products"
Attendees will enjoy an address from IQ president Phil Redmond, food and drinks and a chance to explore the historic venue.
Each year top-performing students from the University of Derby Centre for Mineral Products are presented with an award from IQ in recognition of their outstanding achievement and continuous commitment to the minerals extractives industry.
In addition to networking and the awards ceremony, 13th century costumed guides - Edward I, King of England from 1272 to 1307, and Master James of St. George, the King’s castle builder - will entertain guests with tales of the Tower, including insight into where the stone came from and how it was built.
