This year's company away trip saw the team visit the city of bridges, Budapest! The three day trip started with an overview of Enabl's achievements over the course of the year whilst looking forward to future and growth strategies. Following this the team enjoyed some well earned down time including a walking tour and sampling some of the city's best food and drink. The trip was a great success!
This month the planning team at Enabl visited Saltaire in West Yorkshire, widely considered as the birthplace of planning in the UK. It was a great opportunity to learn from the past and the principles of place-making of which are still adopted today. The mill town is one of the earliest and most comprehensive examples of a planned industrial community, designed with the welfare of its workers in mind and laying integral moral, social and spatial foundations for development.
As a celebration of Enabl's 5 years, the Enabl Ramble stretched a bit further afield this year to the Lake District and more specifically Fairfield Horseshoe which circles along the natural ridge around Rydal Valley with stunning views over Windermere. The weather fantastic and was a great opportunity for catch up with close co-consultants and clients across the business both on the walk and afterwards over some well earned beverages. We look forward to what next year's event brings!
On 4th July Enabl hosted the first ever Enabldon Tennis Tournament with clients and co-consultants invited down to The Northern in Didsbury, Manchester in support of St. Ann's Hospice. The tournament saw players battle it out on grass courts with spectators looking on. The event proved to be a resounding success with £1500 being raised for an incredible cause. We can't wait for the next one!
Following a successful year of new projects, sustained growth and betterment of targets the Enabl team headed to the Barcelona to celebrate a productive year whilst starting to think about the opportunities ahead in the new year. There was also the opportunity to enjoy the unrivalled architecture and cuisine of this renowned European city!
Each year we choose a hiking spot and invite our network of clients and co consultants to embark on a ramble across the Peak District.
The ramble is a chance to engage in meaningful conversations, exchange industry insights, and gain valuable knowledge from each other & experiences while enjoying the scenic beauty of the surrounding landscape. Against a backdrop of rolling hills, we embarked on a journey that transcended the typical corporate setting. We find that the experience fosters an unparalleled sense of unity, reinforcing the notion that collaboration and mutual support can thrive beyond the confines of a boardroom.
The event finished with a delightful gathering at a nearby traditional pub with good food and drink served before heading back into Manchester in the early evening.
It's almost time for our annual summer party where we will host what is becoming a staple-piece in the industry calendar.
A huge collaboration of clients and co-consultants meeting in a laid back environment enjoying independently sourced food and drinks late into the evening.
We can't wait for this one with over 80 confirmed attendees and counting...
