The Brookbanks team are refreshed and back in the office after a fun-filled few days in Snowdonia!

The Away Days 2023 were a great hit as the team spent some quality time together at the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn, Snowdonia and Adventure Parc Snowdonia

The purpose of our annual Away Days are to allow our diverse and ever-developing team to take time away from the office to reflect on how we are progressing as a business. Brookbanks is a company Powered by Our People and we strongly believe in the importance of taking this time away to allow us to develop both professionally and personally.

Our time in Snowdonia was packed with sharing ideas, fun, team-building and recognising all roles everyone here at Brookbanks plays to deliver our high quality services.

Day 1 was spent enjoying our company updates delivered by our teams before we headed outside to battle it out to win at Squad Games. The competition was high and there were some tense moments but the team came out stronger than ever! Thanks to KDM Events for keeping the peace and delivering a brilliant afternoon.

In the evening we celebrated our people and our progress over a BBQ in an evening filled with rewards and the recognition of our teams.

To round off the trip, on Day 2 there was the opportunity to relax in the on site Spa or take to the water for a selection of water sports, hosted by Adventure Parc Snowdonia.

We couldn’t be prouder of how our team continues to develop and we can’t wait to get back to delivering great outcomes for our clients. Thank you to the whole team for making Brookbanks brilliant throughout 2023.

We are already counting down the days to next year!

In this webinar we explore how Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) can be better coordinated to support clearer, more robust planning decisions. Annabel Le Lohé and Katherine Peers set out how EIAs are intended to function, before focusing on the practical considerations that influence how effective an assessment is in practice, from early briefing decisions through to long‑term delivery. The session was aimed at those working across planning, development and technical disciplines who are involved in preparing, coordinating or contributing to EIAs, particularly on large and complex schemes.

Making High Rise Developments Deliverable

April 17, 2026

High‑rise developments rarely fail through lack of ambition, but through risks that are identified too late. When planning, infrastructure, fire strategy, servicing and buildability are treated as separate exercises, schemes often look strong in concept but weaken rapidly at delivery, leading to redesign, delays and value erosion. This article explores why early, joined‑up thinking is essential for tall buildings, and how front‑end due diligence and integrated strategy can reduce risk, protect viability and create schemes that are genuinely deliverable.
