Reset mapLime Venue Portfolio would like to invite you to another Safari Tours showcase where the unusual is made easy with a visit across a number of our London venues on Wednesday 11th September 2019.
We chat with Toby Lewis, CEO, The Live Group, who shares his vast knowledge about roadshows, an event the company have been carefully perfecting for decades and have gotten incredibly good at.
Lime Venue Portfolio are representing more than 80 diverse, unique and unusual venues on stand G11, at the Conference and Hospitality Show, at Leeds Arenas, on the 30th April 2019.
This one-day event will showcase over 80 companies from a range of sectors across Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, bringing hundreds of visitors to take advantage of special offers, free speed networking and a seminar offering tips to take away to help grow your business.
Nothing says thank you like a great big party. Whether to celebrate or commiserate, the Christmas or Summer Party is a statement staff incentive that shows that whatever the weather, this is a company that cares about its people.
There is something unbridled about a party; the atmosphere is relaxed, everyone mixes, regardless of status, stature, department or interest, people get together and mingle under the universal back drop of Christmas or as a chance to capture the summer sunshine and a long barmy evening.
These events are usually in the evening; Lime Venue Portfolio has also conducted research that tells us its best to hold them towards the end of the week – to avoid over exuberant alcohol intake wiping out a whole week rather than the last day or so of it! We know that great drinks, fine wine and of course food is expected, and many like a theme to dress up to or get involved in. Entertainment is obligatory or risk teams ‘creating’ their own on the night! Music, and dancing into the early hours are all encouraged in the name of bringing people together as part of a company.
Some companies really value the party and they go big. For them it sits in the part of the budget that encourages employee reward, respect and incentive. It’s an HR activity, an internal communication activity, and a brand statement. The ‘go big or go home’ approach to parties can become the very reason to join a company.
These events have a-list entertainment, dramatic and beautiful décor, creative and exciting theming; they create memories for staff, not just the classic old company shindig. Great companies that can, and do, put on these parties understand that every event is about creating an experience that sends a message; to staff, to potential staff, to the wider world. They use them to show confidence, success, creativity, a love of their staff, and that to be part of their business is to be part of something very special indeed.
In times past the company party was a reluctantly obligatory process which management didn’t value, finance vehemently objected to, and that staff would rather avoid. Thankfully, for the majority of blue chip companies, it is no longer like this. Mostly because they understand that a party is the ultimate in mixing business and pleasure.
Although on the surface these are relaxed and informal affairs, they are also a business technique. Increasingly, we see parties as an extension to a mid year or end of year conference, or group team building exercise. It’s a chance to underline the businesses values, its culture and the messages it wants to send to staff. It’s a chance to communicate and reward at the same time.
Combing with a more business focused event during the day means that the business can set the tone for the evening and because of this they work especially well; staff get to leave the office for a longer period, settle into an extraordinary surrounding, and go through the gears from formality and business to informality and play.
The party venue really matters. With these events there is always a challenge to drawing the balance between a fun, relaxed and lively atmosphere with the complete mayhem that many parties can and will turn into. Historically, holding the event in the office is dangerous for property, office equipment (photocopiers apparently?), and lacks a sense of grandeur or occasion.
At Lime Venue Portfolio we say give them something special and memorable. Take them somewhere with bragging rights to their friends, somewhere which creates anticipation the moment it gets announced; that encourages people to want to be there, to get excited, and that starts rewarding and incentivising staff before the event has even taken place.
In short, pick a unique or an unusual venue for a party. Also pick a venue that says something about the team, the business, its culture and its thinking going forward. How about an event at Hatfield House, M Shed or the Ricoh Arena for the sporty folk out there; somewhere more historic like Beaulieu for a more opulent occasion, or the chance to dive into summer in glorious Hamsphire surroundings.
Dine beneath the inspirational surroundings of the National Railway Museum in York or Imperial War Museum, or the especially lively surroundings of Bristol or Edinburgh Zoo. These are exciting venues for an exciting occasion, they are not boring, they tell the guests that the business is about to put on a show.
