Today (17th March) marks exactly one year since the doors to Wellcome Collection closed and the venue hire team pivoted to working remotely from home. We had received a message from management on the closure of the Wellcome buildings for a period of 3 months and we still remember how long that timeframe felt. Little did we know that a whole year on, we would still be working away from the meeting, conference and event spaces that we so love and from the clients and suppliers with whom we have spent years of building a meaningful and strong working relationship.
Over the past year, much like most office teams across the UK we’ve turned to technology to keep us connected with each other and our clients. By this we’ve retained our strong team bonds and our sanity. Our online team meetings comprised of a regular Friday music quiz, tv & movie recommendations, online escape rooms, craft and baking creations, laughter, tears and everything in between. Through what has been a tough year for many (our team being no exception), we’ve kept in touch with each other and our clients, ensuring our support and looking forward to getting back to doing what we love as soon as it’s safe and possible to do so. Until that time comes (which looks like it will be sooner rather than later) we’re marking the one-year anniversary of working from home by sharing this picture with you of our team, taken at the last time we were all able to be together: a late summer picnic last year. We’ll all see each other (and you) in person again very soon.
