On Tuesday, 14th October 2025, VHR Global Technical Recruitment and JORAMCO came together to host an unforgettable evening of networking, celebration, and collaboration aboard one of London’s most historic landmarks, HMS Belfast.

The exclusive event, themed ‘The Boat That Rocks’, brought together key figures from across the global aviation and engineering industries for an evening that honoured the past while setting the stage for the future.

The ship, a proud symbol of British heritage and engineering excellence, was illuminated in JORAMCO’s iconic blue, creating a stunning visual backdrop on the River Thames. The lighting display reflected the unity and shared vision between the two companies, symbolising the strength of their partnership and the vibrancy of the global aviation community.

Throughout the ship, bold splashes of orange, green, blue, and pink transformed the deck into a dynamic celebration of colour and creativity. From bespoke decorations to ambient lighting, every detail was carefully curated to embody the innovative and collaborative spirit of both VHR and JORAMCO.

The evening unfolded as an experience designed to engage, inspire, and connect. Guests were welcomed with signature themed cocktails, reflecting the event’s playful yet polished tone, alongside a curated selection of gourmet nibbles.

Entertainment was delivered with flair and originality: live music, upbeat and engaging, set the rhythm for the night, while a touch of magic and a splash of Freddie Mercury-inspired showmanship added an unexpected twist that kept guests captivated throughout the evening.

The result was a lively, high-energy atmosphere that perfectly mirrored the vibrancy of the aviation sector itself, a field defined by innovation, ambition, and constant evolution.

Speaking at the event, Danny Brooks MBE, Chief Executive Officer of VHR Global Technical Recruitment, commented:

“This evening was more than just a networking event, it was a reflection of the partnership, trust, and shared vision that define the relationship between VHR and JORAMCO. As we stand aboard HMS Belfast, a ship that has seen decades of history and transformation, it feels symbolic of how far our industry has come, and where it’s headed next. Together, we are navigating new frontiers in aviation, engineering, and talent development, built on a foundation of collaboration and respect.”

Both organisations have consistently demonstrated a commitment to advancing technical excellence, empowering skilled professionals, and supporting the future of global aviation.

As guests departed HMS Belfast under the London skyline, the ship still glowing in JORAMCO blue, the sentiment was clear: The Boat That Rocks was more than an event. It was a statement of unity, resilience, and forward momentum for an industry that continues to rise above challenges and embrace innovation.
