We’re pleased to share that we’ve relocated to a new home in the city of York. Our new space is at the Bonding Warehouse, a Grade II listed building located along the River Ouse.

The space includes coworking studios, meeting and event spaces, and a podcast studio, which we’ll use for our remote presenter recordings. The versatile event spaces are also ideal for hosting clients.

The building has been carefully restored by Patch, who offer an inspiring and collaborative environment for Yorkshire to work and connect.

It’s a bit of a full circle moment for us, as some of us used to perform in music gigs and others attended messy 18th birthday parties in the building back in the 1990s.

We’re settling in well, although we may need to rein in our use of the unlimited caffeine 🤪.

Employees who feel seen, valued and appreciated work harder, stay longer and are...well, happier! In our latest blog, we look at how Engagement Events can help build a healthy culture, retain talent and futureproof businesses.

Assuming you work for 8 hours a day and sleep another 8 hours (well, we all know we should ), you will spend half of your waking day in the workplace. According to RealSociology, that means - factoring in annual leave, etc. - the average person will spend over 90,000 hours of their lives at work. T...

Anyone can make a presentation, so why would you pay a designer? In our latest blog, we explore 5 ways a professional designer can take your presentation to a whole new level. 💫

We’ve been designing presentations for two decades. In the beginning this was a niche skill, available only to those with design talent, specialist software and technical knowhow. Nowadays, more or less anyone can create presentations with easily accessible software and very little knowledge.

So, what have we learnt in the last 20 years?

As you may have already seen, brightfive turned 20 last month. Big birthdays can put you in a reflective sort of mood, and in this spirit, our co-founder and director, Katie Frost, looks back at her time at brightfive and the lessons learnt along the way.

October 2023 marked our 20th birthday. Over the last two decades we’ve grown our business against an ever-shifting landscape of industry changes, technological developments, a recession and a global pandemic. We’ve seen team members come and go, we’ve moved offices (a handful of times) and wel...

🎈🎉 This month, brightfive is busy celebrating an amazing 20 years in business! 🎈🎉

At the end of September, we threw a lovely little birthday bash at Spark:York CIC. We invited a selection of our favourite colleagues, clients, partners and suppliers, alongside brightfivers old and new. With delicious street food from Tiro, gorgeous cakes from Blonde Bakery and plenty of fizz flowing, we enjoyed a fantastic evening in very good company.

Thank you to all those who have sent kind messages, cards, and even gifts(!), and to everyone who joined us to celebrate our big 2-0.
