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!
As 2025 draws to a close, the planning industry finds itself at a pivotal moment. The latest Brookbanks podcast brings together leading voices from across the sector to reflect on whether this year delivered the transformation promised, and what lies ahead as we move into 2026.
When it comes to large-scale development, policy is the easy part. The real challenge? Turning planning requirements into deliverable masterplans that survive detailed design and actually work on the ground. That was the focus of our recent webinar, where we shared practical insights from the Brightwell Lakes project near Ipswich, a 2,000-home scheme shaped by complex ground conditions, mineral extraction, and sensitive transport corridors.
In this episode of the Brookbanks podcast, Danny Lloyd-Jones and Jack Kenny from Brookbanks join Guy Kippen of Prime Plc to explore the evolving landscape of healthcare development in the UK. Together, they discuss innovative approaches to improving NHS infrastructure and creating better environments for staff and patients.
