At Bright Vision Events, we’re all about creating amazing team-building experiences that inspire, motivate, and bring teams closer together. But we don’t do it alone—our partnerships with fantastic venues and their teams play a crucial role in delivering these unforgettable moments. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Fawsley Hall, and their Sales & Revenue Manager, Katherine, was instrumental in making a team-building event a resounding success!
To shine a light on the behind-the-scenes collaboration that makes these events possible, we sat down with Katherine to discuss their experience working with Bright Vision Events. Here’s what they had to say:
Q1: What inspired you to partner with Bright Vision Events for team-building experiences?
Bright Vision is a local company offering a professional but personal touch. Not only are they experts in team-building experiences, and provide a variety of well delivered activities, their genuine desire to match guests expectations to a high level reflects our own ethos. In the distant past I have experienced event companies that I don’t know arrive for events, having been organised directly by clients, who have then set up in the wrong areas, not followed site restrictions and impacted other guests experience. Being able to recommend Bright Vision to our clients removes all of this pressure. They ensure that they are fully briefed from the start, ensure they communicate with our team on the day and deliver events seamlessly.
Q2: Can you walk us through a memorable team-building event we’ve done together? What made it special?
We recommended Bright Vision for a VIP client event that involved a huge number of attendees requiring exclusive use of our venue. The client had very specific requirements in regards to the outcome they wanted to achieve from the event and also had a very strict time frame in which to deliver both the pre-event planning and the schedule for the day itself. The logistics in delivering such a large event with such unique requirements, as well as the level of collaboration we knew would be needed between us and the event company to ensure everything ran smoothly, meant there was really no other partner choice but Bright Vision Events. The requirements for this event were completely new to us and unlike anything we have had to deliver before. I was completely at ease in recommending Bright Vision Events and fully confident in trusting them with our VIP clients needs. As outdoor spaces were key in delivering this event, an unexpected date change request by the client (for which Bright Vision were flexible in accommodating) and request for a marquee covering, threw a ‘curve-ball’ which Bright Vision Events well and truly caught. It was clear that the team at bright Vision Events extend the same level of expertise and professionalism when selecting their partner suppliers and the marquee covering was smoothly incorporated.
Q3: How do you think team-building experiences impact the teams that participate?
Team-building activities are great fun but the key is in understanding the outcome the client is looking to achieve and then matching the activity to deliver this. If the right activity or selection of activities is matched to the right goal then the team building will be a resounding success. I have seen and experienced first hand how team-building activities foster better communication, morale and collaboration and improve relationships between the participants with far reaching results.
The best thing about team-building is how stealth like it can be in producing these results when the attendees think they are simply having fun or having an opportunity to show-off their physical, analytical or problem solving skills.
Q4: What feedback have you received from clients about the events we’ve partnered on?
Our guests have always been positive about events that Bright Vision Events have partnered on, commenting about being guided through the best activities to match goals and budgets and of course on what will work best given their knowledge of our venue. Not to mention clients who have had to make late changes and who have been grateful for the understanding and flexibility shown. Having a trusted partner recommended is one less thing for clients to worry about.
Q5: From a venue perspective, what do you think sets Bright Vision Events apart as a partner?
Bright Vision Events are a trusted partner who I have no hesitation in recommending. They have extensive event services which are delivered by a professional, knowledgeable but busy operation and yet they remain personable, friendly and flexible at all times. Knowing and trusting the people behind the website/emails and being able to put a face to a name makes all the difference in having a productive and mutually successful partnership.
Q6: Do you have any advice for other venues looking to incorporate team-building into their offerings?
Even if you have not thought about, or not previously delivered, team-building offerings at your venue I can guarantee you that the majority of your client base has and has probably selected another venue who has been able to deliver this in the past instead of you. You may even have site specific restrictions which you are worried would not be adhered to. I can tell you that you do not need to be the expert in order to recommend team-building. An event specialist partner like Bright Vision Events are happy to come out to meet you, familiarise themselves with your venue, understand any site restrictions or special requests you have and are then able to handle any client enquiries as if they were part of your onsite team.
