Ideaworks Day 2025: A Safari Adventure at Port Lympne

This year, our annual Ideaworks Day 2025 took us on a unique safari adventure at the stunning Port Lympne Reserve in Kent. More than just a day out, it was a chance for our team to reconnect, reflect on our progress, and look ahead to the future.

We started with a company update from our Managing Director, Chris Jones, during which we reflected on our core values and revisited the principles that guide our work. We also celebrated our achievements over the past year, from exciting luxury projects across land and sea to the core pillars of our business strategy.

Midway through the day, we embarked on a safari through the reserve in open-sided trucks, getting up close to some incredible wildlife. It was a fantastic opportunity to unwind, enjoy the surroundings, and share the experience with colleagues.

Later, we heard from our Creative Director, Kevin Andrews, who shared thought-provoking insights on how we interpret information in an increasingly complex world. His discussion challenged us to think critically and seek clarity in everything we do.

As an international business, days like this are invaluable in bringing all our teams together, strengthening connections across locations, and reinforcing our shared vision. At Ideaworks, we believe in taking moments to step back, connect, and gain fresh perspectives. A huge thank you to everyone who made this day possible. We’re excited for the year ahead!
