Month Round Up – July

By The Venue Team

Welcoming venue partners to Brief2Event is a key part of our week. These visits offer valuable updates, highlight new developments, and showcase each property’s unique facilities. They provide opportunities for direct conversation with our key partners, building on the relationships we need in order to deliver the best service to our clients.

Office Visitors

This month, De Vere Horsley Estate led a rhythmic stretching session, demonstrating their commitment to team building and workplace wellness, and highlighting their outdoor spaces for group activities. Switch Management encouraged creativity with a rock-painting activity, reflecting their focus on interactive guest experiences and sharing updates on sustainability initiatives. RBH Hospitality Management concluded their visit with a mocktail-making session, which allowed our team to develop mixology skills and sample summer drinks. They also showcased their latest culinary offerings and shared their recent service excellence award.

Through these activities, each partner brought something unique to the team. Creating a more memorable appointment helps our consultants to recall the information we need to relay to our clients.

Thank you to all our venue partners for visiting. These experiences deepen our knowledge of each venue’s particular offerings and help us securely match clients with the right destination for their events. For example, following a recent visit, we recommended a newly renovated countryside property to a client seeking an inspiring location for their annual retreat. Thanks to our up-to-date insights from the visit, the match was a great success, and the client received enthusiastic feedback from their attendees. Collaborating closely with our venue partners allows us to provide this level of tailored service and ensure memorable event experiences.

Team Social at Mad Swans

The Brief2Event team visited Mad Swans in the Mendips for our monthly team social.

The afternoon allowed us to experience the venue first-hand, beginning with a tour of the facilities, followed by handcrafted drinks and freshly made pizzas in The Hangout. Experiencing the venue as guests highlighted its relaxed atmosphere, excellent hospitality, and versatile event spaces.

Mad Swans is well-suited for corporate away days, team-building events, and summer socials, contributing to its popularity.

Site Visits and Client Meetings

In addition to hosting venue partners, our team has been on the road throughout July.

Over the past month, the Brief2Event team conducted site visits across the UK, including venues in London, Manchester, and other locations. Visiting venues in person keeps us informed about refurbishments, event spaces, accommodation, and facilities, enabling us to offer clients first-hand knowledge and tailored recommendations.

Alongside venue visits, we met with existing and prospective clients to better understand their event objectives and strengthen relationships. A highlight this month was our Director’s trip to Dublin to meet a prospective client, discuss upcoming opportunities, and explore new ways to support their event programmes.

Building strong relationships with our venue partners and clients remains central to our work. Each visit, meeting, and experience enables us to deliver outstanding venue-finding services and create successful events across the UK and beyond.

We look forward to what August will bring (lots of lovely Christmas party enquiries usually!).
