This past August, the PAMCo team gathered for a rejuvenating and insightful away day in the vibrant city of Brighton. With a perfect blend of strategic discussions, personal wellness activities, and (somewhat windy) seaside relaxation, the day allowed us to reflect on the company’s future while also getting some much-needed downtime as a team. Against the backdrop of Brighton’s famous seafront, we left the day with a renewed sense of purpose and connection.
The day began with a team session focused on the future direction of PAMCo. Set in the oh-so-Brighton co-working space, PLATF9RM. Here we concentrated on the company’s vision, goals, and the necessary next steps for growth. It was a chance for us all to share our thoughts and contribute to the wider conversation about where we are headed as a team and company.
During the session, we touched on the big ideas, such as expanding our service offerings, improving awareness, and enhancing internal communication, but also slightly less tangible ideas of what we want to stand for as a company. Inspired by the welcoming and diverse city of Brighton, thoughts and feelings around openness and honesty, collaboration and engagement, as well as a general passion for the work we do were shared and agreed upon.
After an invigorating and productive morning, it was time for something a little different. In keeping with our theme of balance and well-being, we welcomed a local energy healing specialist to help us relax and recharge. A new experience for many of us, this holistic approach was a refreshing break from the usual day-to-day pressures of work.
The session focused on reducing stress, increasing mindfulness, and fostering a sense of calm. Through a combination of breathing exercises, guided meditation, and energy-balancing techniques, we learned to connect more deeply with ourselves and each other. We all found the experience both calming and energising, leaving the room feeling refreshed and mentally clear.
It also encouraged us to think about self-care and mental wellness, an often-overlooked aspect of maintaining productivity and positivity in the workplace. By investing in our well-being, we were reminded of the importance of balance, both personally and professionally—a key takeaway that will undoubtedly benefit us in our roles at PAMCo.
After a productive morning, we ventured to Brighton’s iconic seafront for a well-deserved lunch. The relaxed setting allowed us to unwind and catch up in a more informal environment. It was the perfect blend of good food, great conversation, and beautiful surroundings.
Our time in Brighton was a perfect balance of business and pleasure. The day’s activities left us feeling energised and aligned as we looked ahead to the future of the company. As we return to our regular roles, we carry with us not only a clearer sense of where PAMCo is headed but also a renewed focus on the importance of well-being and teamwork.
Here’s to the future of PAMCo, a strong, healthy team, and all the exciting opportunities that lie ahead!
