Bringing Teams Together for a First Annual Conference at Center Parcs

Mortgage Advice Bureau Wenham Mortgages and Wenham Specialist Finance wanted their first company-wide annual conference to be more than a traditional business event. The aim was to bring colleagues together from across the UK to celebrate success, strengthen relationships, align future goals and invest in team development.

Looking for a venue that combined professional conference facilities with a more engaging environment, the team chose Center Parcs.

Charlotte Vickers, Operations Manager, said:

"We wanted something different from a traditional hotel conference. Center Parcs offered a unique setting that combined excellent conference facilities with a relaxed environment, giving our team the opportunity to step away from their normal routines and genuinely connect with one another."

The team wanted a venue that would help delegates switch off from day-to-day responsibilities and fully engage with the conference experience.

The combination of purpose-built conference facilities, comfortable accommodation and the forest environment made Center Parcs the ideal choice.

"Being surrounded by nature created a calm atmosphere that you simply don't get at a traditional conference venue."

Future strategy and vision sessions
Team development workshops
Lender presentations
Networking opportunities
Team-building activities
Informal social events

Alongside the conference agenda, delegates took part in activities designed to encourage teamwork, collaboration and relationship building.

"The activities sparked plenty of laughter and friendly competition, helping strengthen relationships across the business."

Planning & Delivery

From the initial planning stages through to event delivery, the Center Parcs team worked closely with the organisers to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

With attendees travelling from various locations across the UK, coordination was an important consideration. The venue team provided support throughout the planning process, helping create a seamless flow between conference sessions, networking opportunities, activities and dining experiences.

"The planning process was smooth from start to finish. The Center Parcs team were responsive, organised and proactive, making the process straightforward."

The Results

The event exceeded expectations and successfully achieved its objectives of improving collaboration, reinforcing company culture and motivating employees for the year ahead.

Delegates responded particularly positively to the unique forest setting and the balance between professional development and team building.

"The conference brought the team together, reinforced our business goals and left everyone feeling motivated and engaged."

Attendees also highlighted the venue's environment, facilities and overall experience as key strengths, with many describing it as one of the best company events they had attended.

The relaxed surroundings encouraged greater participation, increased networking and stronger connections between colleagues.

"People were more relaxed, more willing to participate in discussions and spent more time networking with colleagues outside of the formal sessions. It created a far more collaborative atmosphere."

Looking Ahead

The success of the event has already influenced future plans, with the team eager to continue building on the experience.

"This was our first annual company conference, and we deliberately wanted to move away from a conventional meeting room environment. The success of the event has confirmed that this is something we'd like to build on in future, and we're already planning on returning to Center Parcs."

Client Feedback

"If you're looking for a conference that genuinely engages your team rather than simply getting everyone into a meeting room, Center Parcs is an excellent choice. It offers a unique environment that encourages collaboration, conversation and relationship building while still providing everything you need to deliver a professional business event."

"Without hesitation. From the planning process through to the delivery of the event, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The venue, facilities and overall experience exceeded our expectations and helped make the conference a real success."
