Christmas at Atkins Search: Celebrating a Successful Year Together
As 2025 draws to a close, the team at Atkins Search took time to celebrate an incredible year with a series of festive get-togethers, culminating in our much-anticipated annual Christmas party. From Christmas jumpers and Secret Santa surprises to festive food and a night out in Nottingham, it was the perfect way to reflect on a successful year in construction recruitment and celebrate the people behind it.
Festive Celebrations at Atkins Search Throughout December
December was packed with festive cheer at Atkins Search. Our team enjoyed a range of Christmas activities that brought everyone together, including:
- A festive Secret Santa, delivering some brilliant (and hilarious) gifts
- Christmas Jumper Day, showcasing some truly questionable festive fashion
- A visit to the Nottingham Christmas Market, complete with twinkling lights, hot chocolate, mulled wine, and the long-awaited Yorkshire pudding wrap
These celebrations gave us the chance to unwind as a team while celebrating another strong year supporting construction professionals and construction employers across the UK.
The Atkins Search Christmas Party at Cleaver & Wake
Our main event took place on Friday 19th December at Cleaver & Wake, one of Nottingham’s standout venues. The team enjoyed a delicious three-course festive meal, including a collection of amuse bouche and a choice of chicken liver parfait, Norfolk bronze turkey and Christmas cheesecake. This was washed down with a couple kir royals, followed by an evening of dancing across a few local bars.
The night was full of laughter and great memories and it was a brilliant way to wrap up the year and recognise the hard work and achievements of the Atkins Search team.
