Business Hive Summer BBQ

On Tuesday (July 16, 2024), we were lucky enough to sponsor the Business Hive Summer BBQ hosted at The Old Granary, Lincolnshire. It was a great day for all as we gathered in the sun with some familiar faces and some new ones too. We have been Business Hive members for 8 years now and have long been engrained in the local business community. For us, sponsoring this brilliant event was a total no-brainer.

These events are more than just networking, they are an opportunity for local business people to reconnect with existing clients and strengthen relationships, support each other in our local community and open new doors to more opportunities by all working together to help each other.  

As a business that aims to make a positive environmental change in the world, we thought that the Business Hive Summer BBQ would be the perfect event for us to sponsor. We aim to have a positive change in the world we live in and that's why we want to help businesses that are trying hard to achieve a greener way of working. 

It wouldn’t be KW if we didn’t practice what we preach which is why our move at the beginning of the year – to share a home with our good friends at Systematic and oodle – was such an important one for us. We have taken the first steps to being more eco-friendly ourselves, given that the building utilises the energy generated by 50 solar panels, and benefits from a highly efficient infrared electric heating system. 

Down at The Old Granary -our wonderful hosts for this event - Clare and Louise hold the very same planet-positive ethos at heart. Working to be as green as possible by sourcing their power from solar panels and by heating their luxurious rooms with an air-source heat pump. 

Here at KW, the community and supporting it is absolutely paramount to how we operate. Whether that be through welcoming work experience opportunities to the young marketers of the future, visiting schools in the local area such as the University of Hull and Caistor Grammar School, or - most recently - partnering with LSRN, a charity set up to support Lincolnshire’s rural and agricultural community, to boost their digital presence and raise £25,000 to celebrate their 25th year as a charity.  

By sponsoring the Business Hive Summer BBQ, we truly hope to have opened the door to the potential our little pocket of the Wolds holds. And to have promoted The Old Granary to a wider range of people who can all enjoy its great facilities too. Louise and Clare are looking to host more events in the future and with such an amazing venue, but given the response to this inaugural event, we can’t see that being a problem! 

Of course, we couldn’t let an event like this slip by without some ‘thank you’s’ doing the rounds, especially to those who made this event possible. Firstly, a huge thank you to Lousie and Clare. The Old Granary was the perfect venue for the BBQ, the potato hunt was a genius idea (especially for the lucky one who won a two-night stay!). Thank you to Spitting Pig too for the fantastic hog roast, and to Ben Wright from Floral Image UK as well as local floral legend Kate Lister for the stunning flowers. 

A big thanks to our mate Sian at The Choowee Cookie Company for the scrumptious - and branded - cookies and finally thank you to our fellow Business Hive members for coming down to what turned out to be the event of the year!  

We are incredibly proud to have been involved with such an amazing event, and of the team for getting stuck into the delivery of it along with Louise and Clare. Events are absolutely something we are getting our teeth more into this year, the buzz of delivery, the team effort, and seeing everyone enjoying themselves, we could have found our new addiction…
