That’s a wrap on a week in Cannes at MIPIM. ☀️🇫🇷

Tony and Samantha packed a lot into a few days – breakfasts, roundtables, coffee and catch-up meetings, lunches, dinners and plenty of good conversations along the way. The buzz around the place was unmistakable.

Discussions ranged from the ongoing impact of the BSA and the potential shift towards new commonhold legislation, to the influence of Gen Z in the workplace – plus lots of shared thinking about where the industry goes next.

And of course, it’s always that little bit easier to be away from home when the sun is shining on the Riviera.

Great to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and be part of the conversation. Until next time, Cannes

What a fantastic evening at our February Fiesta 2026!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at our February Fiesta 2026 – clients, colleagues, and project partners – especially for braving the driving rain to be at our Leeds office yesterday evening.

Over 140 people enjoyed the evening, sampled the beer from our pop-up bar courtesy of Kirkstall Brewery, grabbed a selfie in front of our balloon installation, and tucked into some delicious, freshly cooked pizza from our pizza van, Fired Up Pizza Co.

Our February Fiesta 2026 was also a great opportunity to celebrate what a fantastic year 2025 was for Bowman Riley and to look positively toward the year ahead. We’re excited for what’s to come and look forward to continuing to work and collaborate with so many of you.

🌟 We’re delighted to share some exciting news! 🌟

Bowman Riley has been shortlisted for the 2025 Northern Design Awards for our Craven Barn bespoke home in beautiful North Yorkshire.

This project is a true celebration of craftsmanship and contemporary rural design, transforming a traditional barn into a warm, light-filled home that embraces its landscape while delivering exceptional modern living.

Being recognised among the North’s leading designers and architects is a fantastic honour, and we couldn’t be prouder of our talented team and the collaborative spirit that brought Craven Barn to life.

🏆 We look forward to joining our peers at the Design Awards ceremony at Manchester Cathedral on 13th November — an evening that celebrates creativity, innovation, and design excellence across the region.

A huge thank you to our clients, partners, and everyone who helped make this project possible. Fingers crossed for the big night! 🤞

14 members of our team swapped desks for cobbled streets and sightseeing as we set off on this year’s cultural trip to the beautiful city of Gdańsk, Poland. What followed was a whirlwind of sunshine (and wind and rain), history, laughs, and Uno — the perfect blend of team bonding and cultural exploration.

Day One: Sunshine, Song & City Strolls

We kicked off our adventure with an early flight and were greeted by blue skies and warm autumn air on arrival. Wasting no time, we dived straight into the magic of Gdańsk — wandering through its charming old town, soaking in the colourful architecture, and enjoying a relaxed al fresco lunch under the sun.

But the day didn’t end there. After sunset, things took a livelier turn. A fierce Uno game kicked off the evening, followed by an impromptu and totally chaotic karaoke takeover. We belted out classics (some better than others!) and kept the energy high, finishing the night with plenty of dancing 💃🎤🍸

Day Two: Culture, Cuisine & Quiz Fun

After a lively first day, day two was a little more relaxed — but just as memorable. We took a slower pace, wandering through town, picking up souvenirs, and paying a visit to Gdańsk’s iconic cathedral for a bit of culture and calm.

The afternoon brought us to a bustling food hall, where we sampled local bites before settling in for a friendly (but competitive) pop quiz and a round of homemade limoncello! Dinner followed, with great food, good company, and a few more toasts before we finally let exhaustion win.

From spontaneous sing-alongs to cultural sightseeing, the trip reminded us just how much fun we can have as a team — both in and out of the office. Gdańsk, you were a dream. Until next time!
