Automate UK Summer Chairman's Lunch 2026

On behalf of our Chairman James Causebrook and Automate UK, we are delighted to invite you to our Summer Chairman’s Lunch to be held at Lincoln’s Inn, London on 3 July 2026. The largest and oldest of the four Inns of Court, the historic buildings of Lincoln’s Inn date back to 1490 and are set in 11 acres of beautifully maintained private gardens right in the heart of Central London.

Our guest speaker this year is Robert Llewellyn, best known as the presenter of Fully Charged and former host of Scrapheap Challenge. He has also portrayed Kryten in the BBC science fiction series Red Dwarf since 1988.

Robert is a frequent speaker at science and technology events, where he actively promotes electric vehicles and renewable energy solutions. Through his website and YouTube channel, he provides a platform for discussion on sustainability and the future of energy, engaging audiences in the transition toward cleaner technologies.

We’ll gather for welcome refreshments, speeches followed by a seated lunch and conversation with fellow Automate UK members across our network.
