With the New Year nearly upon us, it’s time to look back at some of Gafencu’s top stories of 2016.

Throughout the year we have interviewed a number of discerning men and women, including Hidy N.g, founder and design director of Hidy N.G and Nathan Louey, private client director and consultant for Remy Martin, to name a couple.
