Which new AXA employee really went beyond the call of duty to impress his boss at Biba last week?

Drinking with chief executive Peter Hubbard and colleagues until the early hours, one AXA employee fell off his stool. He was quickly righted and sensibly announced that he was going to bed, at which point he turned around and walked straight into a wall.

Backchat also heard that a drunken delegate got out of bed to use the toilet, went through a door only to be met by bright lights and more doors. Yes, you guessed it, he'd ended up in the hotel corridor. And, of course, his door slammed shut leaving him near naked and locked out.
