With today’s fast-paced work environments combined with hybrid and remote wor king, it’s never been more important to encourage strong relationships.
Designed to strengthen connections, improve communication and boost morale, a team building day could be the key to a more productive and harmonious workplace.
Take your team building to the next level.
Usually held at an off-site location, team building days offer the opportunity to get out of the office environment and enjoy the outdoors or an interesting venue. The day is then filled with fun and challenging activities that require teams to work collaboratively to complete.
Getting employees to step outside of their usual roles and providing opportunities to connect and collaborate with team members that they may not regularly interact with can help break down any barriers and improve communication.
Inter-departmental relationships can be difficult to manage but a team building day encourages people to meet face-to-face and build bridges with those who are usually just on the end of the phone or email. Who doesn’t love a fun day out of the office? Team building days will make your employees feel valued and appreciated leading to higher morale and motivation. They’re also a great way to reduce stress and burnout.

It's not just the building that makes a venue but the team working behind the scenes. We’ve caught up with Alyson Bateman, Regional Account Manager for Switch Hospitality to find out more about life at Park Regis.
How long have you been in the
I’ve been working in hotels for nearly 15 years, and I joined Switch Hospitality Management last January, so it's already been a whole year, and it’s flown by!
No two days are ever the same in this role, which keeps things exciting! The core of what I do is building and maintaining relationships with all the amazing agents who book events on behalf of their clients. Day-today, I support new enquiries that come through our hotels, making sure we’ve done everything we can to win the business. I also spend time on the road, visiting agents to keep them updated on the latest news across our portfolio and showcasing our venues to their teams.
Sometimes, I’m researching new agents we haven’t worked with yet to uncover fresh business opportunities for our properties.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the job is representing our hotels at industry events and networking, getting to travel around the country and meet new people all the time. It’s such a rewarding experience!
The one thing I don’t enjoy is saying no. As a salesperson, you naturally want to keep clients happy, we’re people pleasers by nature! But sometimes, a piece of business just isn’t the right fit for the venue. Being a good account manager means being honest with your clients about why it won’t work and helping them find the best solution for a successful event.
I’ll admit, that geography isn’t one of my strongest skills, so even something as simple as planning appointment routes to make the most of my days on the road can be a bit of a challenge. But recently, I discovered that ChatGPT can help with route planning, making it so much easier to maximize my time. All hail technology!
The best advice I’ve received is to always be honest. It goes a long way in sales and is crucial for building meaningful relationships with clients. There’s no value in being a “yes person” if the operations team can’t actually deliver on what’s promised! Being transparent ensures trust and sets realistic expectations, making it easier to build longterm, successful partnerships.
There’s so much to choose from that it’s hard to pick just one! For a quick and easy lunch, I’d recommend the Chicken Tikka sandwich with spiced mayonnaise. If you’re after something more substantial, the Butter Chicken Masala from our "Indus with Love" menu in the 1565 Bar is an absolute must-try. And let’s not forget the variety of Tapas options on the menu, the Salt and Black Pepper Fries are truly the chef’s kiss!
As you’d expect from a top-tier hotel, we cater to all types of events and palates. Popular choices include our Caribbean, World Food, and Street Food Buffet menus. For a more formal occasion, our European threecourse banqueting menus provide a variety of delectable options.
What truly sets Park Regis apart in Birmingham is our inhouse tandoor chefs, who have crafted the INDUS Banqueting menu. This exceptional offering is brimming with traditional dishes that celebrate the panAsian flavours of the majestic subcontinent, fitting for a city renowned as the home of curry!
For something unique, we also offer an INDUS-inspired afternoon tea, a delightful twist on our Classic option.
In the summer of 2022, Park Regis paused its regular hotel operations for an extraordinary reason: it was chosen as the only Birmingham hotel to become an athletes’ village for the Commonwealth Games!
Although I wasn’t part of the team at
the time, nearly three years later, the excitement and pride are still evident when the team reminisces about the experience. Despite the added challenge of navigating multiple security checks for access, it was a truly remarkable opportunity to be part of such a globally celebrated event, providing care and hospitality to the incredible athletes competing in the Games.
you
It has to be our Level 16 event spaces, the Sky Gallery and the Sky Loft! They’re such exceptional and versatile spaces, that lends to all types of events and can host up to 400 people in the Gallery and up to 150 in the Sky Loft.
With stunning concept lighting and breathtaking views of Birmingham from the floor-to-ceiling windows, these spaces offer an extraordinary backdrop for any event. Whether hosting a private dinner, an exhibition, or a networking and catering area for a large conference, delegates will be truly wowed.
One of the great benefits of being in Birmingham is the vibrant, culturally rich city that’s full of things to do once the event wraps up! You can explore the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery or visit the largest library in Europe. For some fresh air, take a stroll around Brindley Place and the Canal Basin. Fun fact: Birmingham has more miles of canals than Venice! And if shopping is on the agenda, you can’t miss The Bullring and Grand Central, home to high-end and high-street brands, plus plenty of restaurants and cafés to unwind in.
With my three-year-old, my weekends are usually filled with all the boring adult jobs, along with swimming lessons, running around the park, and playing with his Thomas the Tank Engine set!
I’m lucky to live so close to beautiful countryside, so we love taking walks around Cannock Chase and our local canals, soaking up the fresh air as much as we can. I also have a guilty pleasure of browsing Rightmove, dreaming up plans for when I win the lottery, surely I’m not the only one who does that?
Location is one of the most important things to think about when picking a venue, and Park Regis Birmingham couldn’t be better placed. Right in the heart of the city, it’s easy for everyone to get to, whether they’re local or coming from further afield. It’s just 16 miles from Birmingham International Airport and only a 15-minute walk (or even shorter tram ride!) from Birmingham New Street Station, making it super convenient for guests travelling from anywhere.
Beyond the great location, Park Regis has 11 flexible meeting rooms with all the modern amenities you’d need. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a big conference, or even private hire for a special event, there’s a space to suit every occasion.
What really makes us stand out, though, is the amazing service. From the first enquiry right through to after the event, the team is there to help every step of the way. They’ll make sure everything runs smoothly, so your event is not just successful but also truly memorable for all the right reasons.
Each week we invite Partnered Venues to come and visit our HQ, in Lincolnshire. Giving representatives the opportunity to meet our team and to deliver the latest information, in person and first-hand.
On the 22nd of January we hosted a busy and bustling connection event, with representatives from a multitude of amazing venues. It was a pleasure to meet Ruth from Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport, Yasmin and Aurelia from Clermont Hotel Group, Kerry from Eastwood Park, Laura and Amy from the William Cecil, Vicky from Eastside Rooms and Kirsty and Abbie from Drayton Manor.
Just a week later we were visited by Kew Green Hotels, thank you to Rob, Sarah, Leena, Manik, Chris, Joshi and Angela for your updates and info!
