Showcase End of Year Conference 2019

On Friday the 6^th December Showcase held their End of Year Company Conference at the stunning manor house Latimer Estate in Chesham.

With the business growing from strength to strength, and over 20 new starters joining this year the senior management team shared the years successes & learning’s, as well as the businesses objectives and strategies for 2020.

With not a dull slide in sight, it was a fun, informative and interactive day for all.

This year Showcase was torn between 3 deserving charities so decided to challenge the team to support them all.

The team took part in an F1 challenge where they had to design, build and then race their own F1 car.  Formula 1 is about more than just the cars though; the Showcase teams needed to also design a brand for their team. Team hats, overalls and the car had to be branded with their logo, sponsors and chosen charity, finally pitch to the wider team giving their rationale.

Best car design, best team players, best uniform, best values demonstrated and fastest team all held cash prices for 1st, 2nd and 3rd position.  The winning team for each got to choose which charity they wanted to support. The first being Crisis and the second being funding for a nurse for Little Haven Hospice.

In total the teams raised £1,650 for Crisis and £2,850 for Little Haven Hospice as well as packed 100 rucksacks for FOELH ‘Friends of Essex & London Homeless’

Showcase Directors Emma & Nigel Boreham were not surprised to see the whole business pull together and work as a team, and of course have fun every step of the way, values they are proud to see in each and every one of their employees.

On the 7^th December Showcase held their Annual company conference at the Mondrian Hotel in Southwark London.

Now with 58 employees the senior management team shared the years successes & leanings, as well as the businesses objectives for 2019.

With not a dull slide in sight, it was a fun, and interactive day for all.

In the afternoon in true Showcase fashion everyone took part in a heartfelt charity team build.

In teams our creative bunch had to design and make a festive sack, filling it with age & gender specific Christmas gifts following a list of criteria & challenges along the way!

Each team was whisked off to the oldest and largest toy shop in the world ‘Hamleys’ where they returned with 100’s of wonderful gifts guaranteed to make any child smile.

All the beautiful sacks were filled with presents, each for an under privileged child who otherwise wouldn’t receive a gift this Christmas.

Showcase worked closely with its local charities, and The Salvation Army in Chelmsford to help make Christmas wishes come true.

Showcase Directors Emma & Nigel Boreham were incredibly proud to see their team work so hard to achieve this, another great day.

In 2015, for the first time Showcase was placed in position 87 on the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100, now this year they have jumped a whopping 43 places and have now been ranked number 44 in the UK’s fastest growing companies.

Fast Track 100 looks at private companies and ranks those with the fastest growing sales.

It was Showcase’s growth from 2012 to 2014 that first caught the eye of the Fast Track 100 research team. From 2012 to the end of 2014’s financial year the business grew by a phenomenal 319% from £4.6 million pound turnover to £14.7m. Turnover at the end of 2015 came in at £24.2m a growth of 64% on the previous year.

Nigel Boreham, Managing Director of Showcase comments “Last year it came as something of a shock to receive the call from the Fast Track team to tell us that we were being considered for a place in the top 100, and I have to say I will never get tired of receiving that sort of telephone call. This year we are equally excited to have been ranked again and to have jumped up so significantly. This year has been a big year for Showcase we have completed gutted and fitted out a new Head Office for ourselves in Essex, moved to larger office premises in London and recruited no less than 10 new personnel in every role from Accounts and Admin to Project Management and CAD Design. We look forward to continued success and growth in 2017.”

Natasha Kaplinksy one of the UK’s leading broadcasters interviews Emma and Nigel to understand the importance of adding value to businesses via the design and creation of fabulous spaces.

Emma and Nigel talk about their business and the journey it has taken, the professional Consultancy, Strategy and Procurement service they provide for clients, and the amazing team behind them that makes Showcase the successful British business it is.

If you are a regular FT reader this weekend there is a feature on Europe’s Fastest growing Companies FT1000. We are absolutely delighted to say that Showcase are featured in at no 585!!! Fridays don’t get much better…..

This year’s annual company update meeting was held at The Melia Sky Hotel, in Barcelona over 2 days.
49 members of staff flew out to Barcelona, where we kicked off with an afternoon conference, where the previous financial years results were presented and the Directors communicated the businesses’ objectives for 2018/19.

Each department head had an opportunity to present the work their teams over the last 12 months as well as interesting developments and plans for the year ahead. Short interactive sessions took place in between where teams worked on activities including elevator pitches and quizzes on knowing your fellow team colleagues – as always there was plenty of laughs along the way to break up the detail of the presentations and updates.
The second day there was two team building activities, the first being cracking the Gaudi Code and the second bonding on a 2 hour sail along the coast line of beautiful Barcelona. A big thank you to our Directors and all the staff that attended making it another memorable trip.
