Brookbanks Away Days 2023

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Brookbanks Away Days 2023

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!

April 3, 2026

Ground conditions remain one of the biggest sources of cost, carbon and programme risk in infrastructure delivery, yet foundation strategy is still too often considered too late. When layouts and levels are fixed before the ground is understood, projects lose the chance to shape efficient, predictable outcomes. This article explores why early, ground‑led design matters and how treating foundation strategy as a front‑end decision can unlock clarity, reduce risk and improve overall project performance.

Welcome to our March 2026 newsletter. In this issue, we’ll tell you more about how we help SMEs prioritise what matters, avoid the common financial traps, and get projects moving, backed by our experienced team who have real housebuilding experience. We’re looking back on our March webinar, where Jack Kenny and Paul Rushmer gave an overview of how to optimise mechanical and electrical designs specifically for high-risk buildings. Plus, we’ll highlight this month’s podcasts! The first explored where structural engineering and building services design overlap, and why good coordination is so important to project delivery. In episode two, Hannah Simpson, Fran Walker, and Isabelle Latuszka spoke about their early-career experiences and how diverse backgrounds add real value to projects. Below, you’ll also get to hear about some exciting awards news and an event we’re co-hosting with the LPDF in Manchester.
